HOW TO REPRODUCE THE BUG:
-------------------------
help doubleActivity
added 5.5.2 Bugzilla Documentation pages Trivial labels
By Samuel GOUGEON (@sgougeon)
By the way, the rest of the page should also be upgraded:
- boolean and new int64/uint64 integers can also be processed.
- Examples:
- add an example showing that int64()<=> are handled without loss of information
- add an example with booleans. Compare the speed wrt to bool2s() one.
- bool2s() should be added to the See also section (1st line) ...

- bin2dec(), oct2dec(), hex2dec(), base2dec()

bool2s(), bin2dec(), oct2dec(), hex2dec(), base2dec()
- iconvert() // really as the first, the most generic

Partial solution to the bug
I added the links as per the comments 2 and 3
I was thinking to make a new page for int64(), also wanted to understand the other requirements, if possible please elaborate the demanded features in first comment

Hello,
See also: iconvert() would be preferable at the top of the list. No new page is needed for int64(). The related page that already gathers all int#() and uint#() descriptions is in CodeReview here:https://gitlab.com/scilab/legacy_codereview/-/wikis/changes/17817/ after the reported #14389 (closed)
- add an example showing that int64()<=> are handled without loss of information I have started to work on that, but implementation/tests are blocked by the #14396 (closed)
- add an example with booleans. Compare the speed wrt to bool2s() one. Basically, double(booleans), bool2s(booleans), iconvert(booleans,0) do the same thing. The idea would be to tic-toc them in order to compare their speed. Not really important. Just an idea of example.
Finally, an history section must be created: History 6.0 New int64 and uint64 encoded integers can now be processed.
When the new en_US version of the updated page will be stable (and only then), changes would have to be copied into the other existing language releases (in english).
In other language, the title of the history section is rather:
Historique (fr_FR) 履歴 (ja_JP) Histórico (pt_BR) История (ru_RU) Thanks! -

Finally, an history section must be created:
It is to be added as the last section of the page.

Fine. Just waiting for the #14396 (closed) being fixed before building a few more examples. Its fix is in Code Review.
