Several errors in Generic Views Documentation
Hi there,
While reading the Generic views Section I noticed a typo (I think) in several places. It starts from the section Generic views of objects.
The docs refer to lists of books when it should be publishers and lists of publishers when it should be books.
Example
"To build a list page of all books, we'd use a URLconf along these lines:" <<< should have been "list page of all publishers".
After that it continues
"This template will be rendered against a context containing a variable called object_list that contains all the book objects. A very simple template might look like the following:"
Notice how it should have been "publisher objects" instead of "book objects" according to the urlconf code above it.
This appears in a few other places after this one too.
Other than that I want to thank you for an excellent source of documentation. I'm new to python and django and I can already build simple apps after 2 days worth of reading. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Best regards,
Abdullah Alsalal

Good catch!
This is actually a more general solution to something #11335 (r11028, r11029) hinted at. I didn't review the content when copying from the book chapter (r11025, r11026 and r11027)
