Item8747: Foswiki documentation on attachments unclear

In the attachment documentation on the following page, Linking to Attached files section

http://foswiki.org/System/FileAttachment#FileAttachmentTable

The text:

•To reference an attachment located in another topic, enter: %PUBURLPATH%/Tasks/OtherTopic/Sample.txt (if it's within the same web) %PUBURLPATH%/Otherweb/OtherTopic/Sample.txt (if it's in a different web)

This seems to be wrong because using %PUBURLPATH% doesn't work, it needs to be %PUBURL%

A simple error but it takes some time to figure out if you aren't familiar with the syntax.

PUBURLPATH does create a valid path, but it is not autolinked. To create an automatic link, use PUBURL.
