Manual Typo in Table Section

Manual Typo in Table Section

Hello org mode mods!

I'm starting to get into org mode and have been going through the manual to
understand it better. I got to section 3.5.1 and got a little confused:

https://orgmode.org/manual/References.html#References

Specifically with this example formula:
‘@3 = 2 * remote(FOO, @@1$$#)’

As I've been playing around with tables and formulas I've come to the
conclusion that '@@1' must be a typo, and that what was intended was just
'@1'. I have a few qualms about this table section in general, but felt
that this particular typo was an important one to highlight.

Thanks so much for your work! I hope to get more involved once I've made my
way through the manual.

Sincerely,
Ben

You are right. Fixed.

The manual definitely needs to be improved in that area (remote
references).

Thank you.
