I think it is supposed to be "constraint".  This error is already
present in the first revision of the file.  I have installed this patch
in trunk as obvious.  Thanks for the report.

Andreas.

	* doc/md.texi (RTL Template) [match_scratch]: Correct equivalent
	match_operand expression.

 When matching patterns, this is equivalent to
 
 @smallexample
-(match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} "scratch_operand" @var{pred})
+(match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} "scratch_operand" @var{constraint})
 @end smallexample
 
 but, when generating RTL, it produces a (@code{scratch}:@var{m})
