+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.
