The manual often refers to », especially when talking about arrows. It was not until I reached Section 16.4.1 (p.198), where it gives examples using >>> that I realised TeX was applying a replacement, and the manual really meant >> wherever a » appeared. I feel this is a serious bug in the manual, and will mislead any who do not realise what has happened.
This will be fixed by https://sourceforge.net/u/hmenke/pgf/ci/29f9bd23afba19d12f5f476c20fa6c0cdbe92dbd/ but one instance of » remains. That might be an engine bug but I was unable to reproduce in an MWE.

For the record: This can be found in the first
codeexampleof the.tiphandler inpgfmanual-en-tikz-arrows.tex(and is also marked with a\todosp).And there is another one in the last
codeexampleof section 2.17 "Adding Arrow Tips" in filepgfmanual-en-tutorial.tex. (This is also marked with a\todosp.)Last edit: Stefan Pinnow 2019-01-06
