            Bug ID: 136213
           Summary: Documentation regarding String type in BASIC needs
                    clarifications
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Our help regarding String type and related functions (e.g., Mid) needs
clarifications:

1. There's no mention that indexing of characters starts from 1. (This may be
confusing, when users don't see the difference between UNO API, where normal is
0-based indexing, and BASIC functions.)
2. There are multiple mentions of "max characters is 65535". This is wrong;
actually, strings may be as long as 2G characters.
