 ## About this document
 
-This document, accompanied with the [hopefully finely tuned git repos](https://github.com/computorg/template-computo-python/), provides a template for writing contributions to **Computo** [@computo]. We show how `Python` code can be included and how the repository can be set up for triggering github actions for rendering the document, with dependencies handled by `venv/pip`.

 # Formatting
 
-This section covers basic formatting guidelines for [Quarto](https://quarto.org/), a versatile formatting system for authoring document integrating markdown, LaTeX and various code block interpreted either via Jupyter or Knitr (and thus dealing with Python, R or Julia). It relies on the [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html) document converter.

 To render a document, run `quarto render`. By default, both PDF and HTML documents are generated:
 
 ```.bash
-quarto render template-computo-python.qmd # will render both to html and PDF
+quarto render template-computo-python.qmd # renders both HTML and PDF
