Research direction

Open the homepage Getting Started live editor and inspect the FOR Loops example in 1_in.robot. Check the listed mammals, birds, and users against their descriptive comments, then update the incorrect counts and verify the rendered example.

Description

It is a very minor issue. I would have fixed it myself, but I don't understand Vue enough to find how.
On the homepage, the Getting Started section features a live editor to play with some examples. One of them is about FOR Loops.
In it, the file 1_in.robot contains :

@{mammals}    cat    dog    cow

[...]

Loop over list
    Log To Console    Four mammals:
    FOR   ${var}    IN    @{mammals}
        Log To Console    ${var}
    END

But there is only 3 mammals, not 4.
The same goes for the birds.
But there is actually 4 users.
