Change
? h
I found no right delimiter to match a left one. So I've

(or at least use a smallskip). Also it would be better to type an
uppercase `H' as Chapter 5 preferred.
Appendix I
`A'
Add pages 10--11 (which describe a stick-figure `A')?
`B\'ezier, Pierre Etienne'
Should there be an acute accent over the `E' in the middle name?
(Wikipedia implies so, but some sources don't.)
`ligtable'
Change `305' to `305--306' (since there is only one ligtable command
on page 305 but five on page 306).
`openwindow'
Change `312--313' to `312'.
`pens'
Change `21--39' to `21--29'.
`polygonal path'
Change `24' to `24--25'?
`sans-serif'
Perhaps delete `305' since that page describes only serif'd settings?
inconsistencies, in general
1.
addition of vectors, 9, @68.
sum, ... \sub of vectors, 9.
2. (the "+" mark, and the absent comma)
*|at|, +191, 220, @252, @277, @312.
*|from| 191, 220, @252, @277, @312.
*|to|, 191, 220, @252, @277, @312.
