Word misspell or ... existing function? eland()

[Adam Chen Wei]

I saw this function eland(), and afterward with some rather (IMHO) irrelevant description of something else. I googled, but still can't find what is this for. Is this some sort of typo? If not, some elaboration will be really appreciated.

If you're referring to the section listed under Views in the Internals chapter, that seems to have been fixed in the gh-pages branch. It should read $el and $(), referring to the $el property and $() function defined by Backbone.
