or even better:

{table}
Property | Value
#foreach($prop in $class.properties)
   *${prop.prettyName}* | doc.display($prop.getName())
#end
{table}

That said I don't recall us changing anything since beta 1 but maybe  
I just don't recall. If there's something wrong in the FAQ tutorial  
please let us know so that we can fix it.
