 Code in official documentation at wordpress.org is corrupt.

 Example: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/htaccess/

 This is confusing when it is necessary to point people with corrupt/lost
 `.htaccess` files to an official source where they can compare and learn
 the correct content.

 Currently shown:
 {{{
 # BEGIN WordPress

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

 # END WordPress
 }}}

 Expected:
 {{{
 # BEGIN WordPress
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
 </IfModule>
 # END WordPress
 }}}
 In addition to confusion, the missing `<IfModule>` lines can also cause
 fatal error 500 when code is copied to servers without `mod_rewrite` in
 place.

 The issue affects all examples on this page and has been reported already
 a few times during last years via feedback at end of that page, nothing
 happened.

 Maybe a second issue: Is this feedback read by anybody?
