These are notes for my own use.

<h2>Prose</h2>

  *  <i>The Local Yarn</i> should be italicized.
  *  <i>The Local Yarn</i> is emphatically not “a web site”.

<h2>Punctuation</h2>

  *  In a list of <em>actions</em>, list items should end with a period.
  *  In a list of <em>things</em>, list items should not end with a period.
  *  Place trailing commas and periods outside of quotation marks unless they are part of the quoted text.
  *  [https://practicaltypography.com/hyphens-and-dashes.html|Em- and en-dashes], [https://practicaltypography.com/straight-and-curly-quotes.html|“smart” quotes and apostrophes], emoji, and math symbols should be stored as such in the original text source. Do not rely on [https://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/|smartypants-style text processing] at any step after writing to produce typographically correct&nbsp;punctuation.

<h2>Source files</h2>

  *  Header comment includes copyright notice, license information, and author contact info.
  *  (Racket) All comments on their own line begin with <code>;;</code>

<h2>Pre-commit checklist</h2>
