[pracjourn-forum] Some initial thoughts

<<<<
(3) A Guide to common pitfalls

This guide will list common errors made in TeX formatting (LaTeX and
ConTeXt), e.g. forgetting to close a macro ("... \TeX is ..."), misusing
hyphens for en and em dashes, putting footnotes in the right place (e.g.
before punctuation), etc.

I think one way to approach this, or maybe supplement it, is to have
some sort of 'list of error' messages, together with a description of
how they arose, how else they might arise, and their meaning and
solution

We could solicit people to submit entries, and then the main author of
this article could edit those submissions.

Does this make any sense?
