Small fixes (#155)
* Fix various typos and references or links - Misuse of product macro the x sign did not appear - Use macro for milligrams - Some refes were without hyperlink for some reason ? - confusion between section and subsections - a little grammar.. exact value not absolute, don't think a negative amount of flower was ever an option :D * Use siunitx for temperature everywhere Apparently some files escaped my script last time, or messed up in git merge... Anyway fixed now and should be more consistent. * Simplify Fermentolysis table I woudl hope this is more clear with less lines. * Remove double bottomrule * Fix grammar * Use correct font familly in preface Small corrections on font familly and extra space for signature. TODO: I did not change the paragraph breaking but we might want to revisit it later. * Fix wrong percentage range fixes https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework/issues/156
