[edit] Notes

• Numbers that appear after sentences are not garbage, they are citations. They should be properly linked to the glossary.
  • Since all the footnotes appear on the appropriate pages, we can use the {{note}} and {{ref}} templates to link the footnotes properly.
• Much of the formatting to this book is incorrect because of the move. Please examine the original (link above), to make sure that this version complies with the formatting and structure of the original. Once we get it faithfully copied over, we will be able to edit it at will.
