* Update .gitignore
Hide the svg file created during ebook builds and the new directories
after makefile changes
* Fix a makefile variable that stayed in uppercase
* Do not clean ebook systematically anymore
Should be fixed with new way to build ebooks
* Add rule showing version of tools on build machine
This helps with debugging on another machine.. or a build server.
* Add figures/vars.tex to the list of dependencies
Was missing...
* Add a makefile variable print facility
Quite a neat trick, avoids having to add it manually when you debug
* Add a target to print all variables in the makefile
* Fix the src_tables target
typos one s too many...
* Add a makefile variable to run tools in debug mode
Only ebook for now.
* Make default build the serif version of pdf
This is what the documentation said but both serif and sans were built
* Explicit serif in makefile and flattens rules
We had default (serif) and sans, better we have target named after their
fonts family
Flatten them as well so we can build ebooks or sans serif only as we
wish.

* Explicit the dependency on TikZ figures
latexmk figured that out but better if makefile is aware of it as well
The Sourdough Framework
The sourdough framework is an open-source book dedicated to helping you to make the best possible sourdough bread at home.
Rather than providing recipes this book intends to provide a framework that enables you to bake bread in your respective environment. Every flour, every sourdough, and every home setup is different. This makes following recipes without background information so hard and a fail-prone endeavor. This book intends to close that gap.
Background
4 years after launching the repositories the-bread-code and pizza-dough I created this project to merge the knowledge together. This project intends to go one step deeper into the workings of natural fermentation. At the same time as many scientific references as possible are provided.
