DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It says

The negative subpattern
 is optional; if absent, then the positive subpattern prefixed with the
 localized minus sign (code>'-'</code> in most locales) is used as the
 negative subpattern.

It is missing an open pointy just before the '-'.

"code>" should be "<code>"


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected the '-' in Courier or the like.
Saw the '-' in the regular font preceded by the confusing fragment
