Don't know if it is intensional, but you are providing a link to the doc for
Octave 4.2. The correct web link for the current version, 5.1, is
https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Axes-Properties.html#Axes-Properties

Now if you are using Octave 5.1 with its GUI, then a more ecological
approach (no web, no server request) is to run the following at the prompt
which should open the page in the doc browser 

doc "axes properties"
