You're welcome.

It is. But be aware: it is not actually correct.

It covers some of the common cases, which may be good enough for you for now.

To my mind, the first paragraph of http://nginx.org/r/try_files does
say that -- but only if you read it as if it is a technical document,
where every word means something.

Maybe there's room for alternate documentation, which spells out things
in much more details and gives even more examples of how things could
be set up -- but that is likely to be book-length and more quickly
stale. I suspect that if someone wants to write and maintain it, it
would be welcomed.

Anyway -- it's good that you have the answer you were looking for.

Cheers,
