Marginalia in Markdown were not transformed

[rschiang]

As a developer and law undergraduate, it's really nice to bump into a project dedicated to lawyers. :smiley:

A quick browse through chapter 2 would notice several margin headers not transformed and were left intact. Probably a misconfigured parser caused the issue?

Thanks! It's great to hear that there are more developers who are interested in law. There is a great need for developers who understand the law, and perhaps an even greater need for lawyers who understand the Internet.

As for the marginalia bug, that's a good catch... At some point in the coming days/weeks, I'm planning on moving away from the standard bootstrap CSS and attempting to use better typography. Hopefully, I can get it to work then.

I hope you enjoy the book, and if there are thoughts about how to improve it, please contribute!

I noticed this is Chapter 2. Since the markup appears in the document about markup, I'd go so far as to remove those notes until they can be rendered properly.

Congrats on being featured on HackerNews.

First off, thanks for the comment. When I got your email, it was the first indication that codingforlawyers was on HN. Somehow, the fact that I learned about it through a GitHub Issue validates so much of this project. So thanks.

Second, this is a difficult choice for me. The right thing is likely to get rid of it now. But, I'm having a hard time letting go of the idea that I'll have marginalia to help the readers along.

That said, you're right, and I'll take 'em out.

Could always leave them in another branch...
