-  <p>Parameter attributes consist of an at sign (@) followed by either a single

   example:</p><pre>
-    %someFunc = i16 @zext (i8 @(sext) %someParam)
-    %someFunc = i16 @zext (i8 @zext %someParam)</pre>
+    %someFunc = i16 (i8 sext %someParam) zext

+  a different attribute (sext in the first one, zext in the second). Also note
+  that the attribute for the function result (zext) comes immediately after the

   <p>Currently, only the following parameter attributes are defined:</p>
   <dl>
-    <dt><tt>@zext</tt></dt>
+    <dt><tt>zext</tt></dt>
     <dd>This indicates that the parameter should be zero extended just before

-    <dt><tt>@sext</tt></dt>
+    <dt><tt>sext</tt></dt>

   <p>The current motivation for parameter attributes is to enable the sign and

   are used by the code generator to perform the required extension. However, 
   parameter attributes are an orthogonal feature to calling conventions and
   may be used for other purposes in the future.</p>
