     * ``uppercase()``	-- return the value of the field in upper case.
     * ``titlecase()``	-- return the value of the field in title case.
     * ``capitalize()``	-- return the value with the first letter upper case and the rest lower case.
-    * ``contains(pattern, text if match, text if not match`` -- checks if field contains matches for the regular expression `pattern`. Returns `text if match` if matches are found, otherwise it returns `text if no match`.
+    * ``contains(pattern, text if match, text if not match)`` -- checks if field contains matches for the regular expression `pattern`. Returns `text if match` if matches are found, otherwise it returns `text if no match`.
     * ``count(separator)`` -- interprets the value as a list of items separated by `separator`, returning the number of items in the list. Most lists use a comma as the separator, but authors uses an ampersand. Examples: `{tags:count(,)}`, `{authors:count(&)}`
     * ``ifempty(text)``	-- if the field is not empty, return the value of the field. Otherwise return `text`.
     * ``in_list(separator, pattern, found_val, not_found_val)`` -- interpret the field as a list of items separated by `separator`, comparing the `pattern` against each value in the list. If the pattern matches a value, return `found_val`, otherwise return `not_found_val`.
