Moduleoption polyratfun documentation #313

Closed jodavies closed 7 months ago

jodavies commented 5 years ago

Hello,

The manual gives

moduleoption <option>[,<value>];

thus, one expects

moduleoption polyratfun,prf;

to work.

In fact, one must use

moduleoption polyratfun = prf;

or receive the error

Line 12 --> Illegal name: ''

I suppose either the manual or the accepted syntax should be updated to match.

Thanks, Josh.

I think this is a bug of ModuleOption because if I use parallel as the function name for the PolyRatFun, then it works as expected...
