There needs to be a way in the guide to indicate which parts should be typed verbatim and which are placeholders which should be replaced. Manpages, for example, use bold for things to be typed verbatim, and underline for things to be replaced. Someone reading the above might think that "glob pattern" should be replaced with the glob pattern, when in fact "glob" is the function name and should be typed verbatim while "pattern" is to be replaced with the pattern.
