P: |, <, > not documented as hierarchical keyword separators

LR's use of "|", "<", and ">" as hierarchical keyword separators is not documented.

In the User Guide section Add Keywords To Photos, it should say:

"Type keywords in the field labeled Click Here To Add Keywords in the Keywords area of the Keywording panel. Separate keywords using commas. Use vertical bar |, <, or > to indicate hierarchical keywords, such as animal|dog, animal > dog or dog < animal."

(Text to be added in italics.)

In Preferences > File Handling, it currently says:


That should be modified to:

"The vertical bar |, <, and > are automatically recognized as hierarchy separators."

Looks good, thanks. A tiny improvement that will avoid confusion that some users were experiencing.
