Minor Formatting Question Throughout Text

[eldavojohn]

In section I.5: (this is known as “oversampling.”) should probably have the period on the outside of the parenthesis. Conversely on page 399 the phrase "to be or not to be", has a comma outside the quotes like so. I just think there should be consistency throughout the text, maybe check Chicago Manual of Style?

@shannonfry do you recall what standard we used throughout the book?

We generally used Chicago, but "to be or not to be" and other phrases that appear in the code itself are a special case—I kept punctuation outside quotation marks in that instance because I didn't want readers to think the comma was part of the code. But you're right, it should be (this is known as "oversampling"). That was just my mistake—thank you for catching it!

Years of writing lisp finally payoff! :+1: Apparently stylings are pretty serious stuff.

Not sure why I left this open. Fixed a long time ago.
