Bug Description

in §4.1 of http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/5.0.0/en/pl_editor.html, %Cx = comment (x = 0 to 9 to identify the comment), but only 4 comments are available in the menu “Edit Page settings” (eeschema and pcbnew).

Correct the manual or better add the 6 missing comments in the menu to edit page settings : in effect, to comply with the ISO 7200 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7200), 4 comments is not enough to complete all the data fields (mandatory and optional) in the document header. The main missing (mandatory) fields are :
- Identification number
- Author
- Approval person
- Document type

for example see https://www.proficad.com/help/tb/data-fields-iso-7200.htm or http://tolerancing.net/engineering-drawing/title-block.html
