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.
