t5.geo; typos? and questions
Dear dmsh experts...
I'm new in this field and have just started learning gmsh using its tutorials.
I think there're a few typographic errors in the comments of t5.geo: a possible correction would be;

One more question: in one of the comments in t5.geo, it reads "With the built-in kernel, if the curves are circle arcs, ruled surfaces are created;". According to the description of ruled surface in wikipedia, "a surface S is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S there is a straight line that lies on S." But each surface in one CheeseHole is 1/8 of a spherical surface and I don't think any straight line can be laid on it.
Do I misunderstand?
Thanks in advance.
