Thanks for your patience — this was recently picked up as an outstanding open issue for the ARM Deployments team to review, and thanks @dbradish-microsoft for routing the doc feedback.

Confirmed on current Azure CLI (2.85.0): the example still has --force inside the quoted --target value:

az bicep publish --file {bicep_file} --target "br:{registry}/{module_path}:{tag} --force"

--force is a standalone flag, so it needs to sit outside the quotes:

az bicep publish --file {bicep_file} --target "br:{registry}/{module_path}:{tag}" --force

The example comes from the command's help in the CLI (which generates the reference page), so we'll need to fix it at the source. Thanks for catching it — I'll flag getting the corrected example in.
