Tutorial code incorrect

Description

Running through the tutorial, the document at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/ towards the bottom presents the following code when explaining how to not hardcode URLs in your templates:

<li><a href="{% url 'polls.views.detail' poll.id %}">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>

This code is actually wrong. The quotes around polls.views.detail are not needed, and in fact cause the template to throw an error. The proper code should be:

<li><a href="{% url polls.views.detail poll.id %}">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>

You are likely reading the development version documentation while using a version of Django <= 1.4.

The old behaviour of the url template tag will be officially deprecated in django 1.5 following the deprecation process described in the Django 1.3 release notes.

Thanks for reporting anyway.

In [4da1d0fd65e01abe013e0d5a9174b81c6bbfa677]:

Added a warning about the {% url %} syntax change

at the point where it bites most beginners.

Refs #18787, #18762, #18756, #18723, #18705, #18689 and several duplicates.
