* 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
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.
