Hi,

The sed 4.2.2 documen= t states:

i \

=C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0text =C2=A0 Insert text, which has each embedded newlin= e preceded by a backslash.

I= suggest improving the wording here. We have the pattern space, the hold sp= ace, the output stream, the error stream etc. Where are we insert the text?= The POSIX standard states that the text will be inserted into the output s= tream. We'd better make it clear here.=C2=A0

Thanks,
Yang Shuai
