Dear Homer Reid,

In the Scuff-em documentation (geometry file examples), some SURFACE statements actually end with ENDOBJECT statements. I'm wondering why is that.

For example the following:

**LATTICE VECTOR 2.4 0.0 0.0 VECTOR 0.0 2.4 0.0 ENDLATTICE

REGION UpperHalfSpace MATERIAL Vacuum REGION LowerHalfSpace MATERIAL Silicon REGION SphereInterior MATERIAL Gold

SURFACE Sphere MESHFILE Sphere.msh DISPLACED 1.2 1.2 1.85 REGIONS UpperHalfSpace SphereInterior ENDOBJECT

SURFACE Substrate MESHFILE Square.msh REGIONS UpperHalfSpace LowerHalfSpace ENDOBJECT**

Appreciate your answer. Thanks

Best Regards Chee Quen

Thanks for pointing this out. I have updated the documentation to fix this.

(The issue is actually harmless in practice because ENDOBJECT and ENDSURFACE are parsed as interchangeable keywords, but you're correct to point out that this makes for confusing documentation.)
