bug#15529: paste documentation tweak


From: Karl Berry
Subject: bug#15529: paste documentation tweak
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 23:34:09 GMT

I suggest the following small change to the paste node in the
documentation.  Sorry I don't have the git-fu to give you the patch in
that format.

2013-10-04  Karl Berry  <address@hidden>

        * coreutils.texi (paste invocation): Move synopsis to
        above existing example; add second example for standard input.
