Wildcard documentation is incorrect

[hitman-codehq]

Hello.

I was following the documentation on this page:

https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

As I wanted to subscribe to a topic using wildcards. For example, the topic is /this/is/my/topic and I wanted to subscribe using ///my/topic. However, this did not work. A colleague then suggested that I use /+/+/my/topic instead, and this worked! This is using MQTT.

Is there a reason this is documented like it is? I could not find any mention of using the + character on the RabbitMQ website and the documentation saying to use * is misleading.

Many thanks in advance!

That tutorial does not use MQTT if you take a closer look. Wildcard routing syntax differs from protocol to protocol.
