Bug #13165
closedTypographical Error in Refinements docs 2.1.1
Description
If you check the example for refinements [[https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/doc/syntax/refinements_rdoc.html]][[here]], the varialbe c is not defined, it is suppose to be x. If a new user tries to run this code, this will raise a NameError exception. When I saw this first, I thought it was valid owing to the surprises of the ruby language. It would be nice if this error is corrected so we don't have issues while reading the docs. Thank you.

The current docs work, e. g. see links such as:
https://ruby-doc.org/core/doc/syntax/refinements_rdoc.html
where you get redirected. There, the refinement example works.
The old link for old versions like 2.1.1 indeed have a typo - not
sure if the old ones get changed since 2.1.1 is outdated. People
should try to use the most recent ruby versions whenever possible.
If fixes to old ruby versions are still made, changing the .html
file would be quite easy but that depends on whether there are
still updates made to these old language versions.
