tripcolor documentation rendering error .

[stilley2]

The documentation at

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/tri/tripcolor.py

Line 41 in 38be7ae

triangles use the kwarg *facecolors*=C instead of just *C*.

does not render properly (see tripcolor documentation here http://matplotlib.org/api/axes_api.html).
A couple of the '*' are being used for formatting while a couple are printed literally. I'll try to make a PR when I get some more time.

http://matplotlib.org/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.tripcolor is a direct link to the offending entry.

exact work:

• fix the rst markup in the docstring

@stilley2 do you mind if someone takes care of this before you do?

[stilley2]

Not at all

[rishikksh20]

Am I eligible to take this ?

[dstansby]

The 2nd example figure also has a title that runs off the left hand edge, perhaps that could be fixed at the same time too. (http://matplotlib.org/mpl_examples/pylab_examples/tripcolor_demo_01.png)

@rishikksh20
@stilley2 confirmed above that he is happy for someone else to work on it so your contribution fixing this would be very welcome
