5ba0b99b4e Remove centering for floats (#364)
This was a bad idea...:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2651/should-i-use-center-or-centering-for-figures-and-tables

floatrows not sure how it should work with flowcharts... so we use
centring

I don't want to redefine all floats either as we use them for chapters
title page.

f143834379 Update Sourdough History (#298)
* Update Sourdough History

This adds another timeline for the sourdough bread history, adds more
information and more references.

* Fix a few white spaces..

* Correct capitalization of Van Leeuwenhoek

Quoting Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_(Dutch)
    Spelling conventions
    Collation and capitalisation

    Collation and capitalisation of names differs between countries. In the
    Netherlands and Suriname, names starting with "van" are filed under the
    initial letter of the following name proper, so Johannes van der Waals
    is filed under "W", as: "Waals, Johannes van der" or "van der Waals,
    Johannes".[3] The "v" is written in lower case, except when the surname
    is used as standalone (when the first name or initials are omitted), in
    which case it is capitalised, as in "de schilder Vincent van Gogh" and
    "de schilder Van Gogh" ("the painter Van Gogh").[4] In compound terms
    like "de Van Goghtentoonstelling" ("the Van Gogh exhibition") the "v" is
    capitalised, unless the connection between the person and the concept is
    or has become very weak.[5]

* Fix line

* Improve numbers on time chart

- Tausend separator
- Negative numbers
- Few typos

* Fixes

* Improve timeline

- narrower so it fits on page (text was leaking out), fits mostly but
  not schking anymore
- Different colour for BC as scale is different
- Broken line for discontinuity in AD

* Reduce line-break width

* Move dates around in timeline

Makes it neater IMHO

* Fix 12000 BC in timeline

* Fix typo and add labels

Also re-indent text (but only new one..)

* reunite can and not

* Prevent running validate when pushing on main

Rational is as follow:
    - We ran validate-book on each push on the PR branch anyway
    - We will run release_book which is a superset of validate

* Upload artifacts on each PR (#299)

* Upload artifacts on each PR

* Use artifact V3

* Build docker image for each PR (#300)

This builds a docker image for each PR and then one for the release
tagged as :latest.

17b5ae5f52 Various clean up (#134)
* Fix reference and grammar

* Remove obsolete package

* Use colored links in pdf, black when printed

We can debate the colors to use of course, I left the defaults in.
There are accessibility concerns with colors...

* Add supporter.csv to the list of TeX source

So we rebuild everytime we add a new supporter.

* Inline the list of supporters

Those guys are awesome, but do they really need to be in a table one per
line over 3 pages?

* Explicit figure location

h rarelly works, so making it clear top is also an option.

4637c29a37 Use Siunitx package for dealing with units (#129)
It is complicated :
[1] The International System of Units (si), https://www.bipm.org/en/
measurement-units/.
[2] International System of Units from nist, http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/
index.html.

And one will never get it right (space or not, half-space?) nor
consistent so using that instead.

I am not sure how times and hours, when to write digits and when in
letter so I did not change much..

Did not touch the tables as ebooks on github actions seems to break when
you look at them funny.

ca43ef0bd9 Improve typography (#120)
* Add unbreakable space before a reference or a citation

avoids ref to be put on next line or page...

* Add unbreakable space between I and verb

* Remove spacing before footnotes

Also moved it before the final sentence dots in many cases... might need
a review of what is best.  But this is a safe default choice from an
esthetic point of view.

* Improve footnotes and punctuations

Reverse order/kerning especially with sans-serif version.

* Remove manual enumerate

* Fix wording in a citation.

Reads better that way and is shorter.

* Use emph instead of italics

1) Markup semantic not style
2) Will deal with various level of empahasis
3) Was a mix of \it and \textit

* Fix usage of quotes

Also replaced some of then by \emph as it is (IMHO) more visually
pleasant.

* Captitalize before reference

* Correct dashes length

see here:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/em-dash-en-dash-how-to-use

* Remove space before label and homogenize caption

Apparently it can create a wrong reference, if notthing else shuts
texcheck up and cost nothing... so let's do it.

While at it adding a dot at the end of each caption.

* Add missing empty line before signature in preface

* Add a static checker target to makefile

Shall help prevent adding mistakes in new versions
