Verifying input and output when making changes
==============================================

While in the ``source`` directory,
you can check for common mistakes such as misaligned comments with::

../tools/check-source.sh

After typesetting the document,
you can also check the output for further problems with::

../tools/check-output.sh

GitHub Actions will also run these checks when you create a pull request,
but it's often faster if you run them locally first.
