Source mistake?

Just was reading the text from https://alligator.io/css/css-grid-layout-span-keyword/ and in this section below:

If multiple lines have the same name, you can define the start and end lines like in the following example:

.item {
  grid-column: col 2 / col 7;
  grid-row: content 6 / content 10;
}

The item starts on the column with the 2nd line named col and ends on the 7th line also named col. Similarly, it starts on the 6th line named row and ends on the 10th line named row.

If the column line name is col because of it's prefix, shouldn't the row line name be content?

Good catch. I'll try reaching out to Sebastian to get this fixed. 👍🏻
