FWIW, the tutorial consists of notes from the 2015 Redex workshop.
The lecture notes supported live demos and worked at the time. The
problem sets were derived from working solutions.
I guess when we migrated these notes into our docs, things got shuffled
in ways that leaves copy-and-paste readers perplexed.
What you need to state first is a guideline for what you want to achieve,
what kind of reader you want to support.
Do you want readers to chase the definitions need to explore a particular
point in the notes? Text books take this approach, partly because the
chasing can serve a pedagogic role.
Do you want easily flowing test? Do you want to support it with margin
notes that link to complete files?
Do you want text interrupted by ever-growing programs? People already
find scribble’s format heavy because so little content fits into large
vertical space.
Don’t just fix local problems randomly.

The tutorial gives the impression that run can run it at any point, up to the point one is reading. To me, that is useful. For now, I will just keep sending "random" pull requests that "fix" things I run into. |
