+ <para>
+ Some commands (e.g. <link
+ linkend="command_delete"><command>delete</command></link>)
+ allow specifying a range in the form
+ <parameter>START:END</parameter> (the <varname>END</varname>
+ item is not included in the range, similar to ranges in the
+ Python programming language). If <varname>END</varname> is
+ omitted, then the maximum possible value is assumed.
