Looks good, all changes below, and the additional readme text!

A hint (you don't need to update your changes): if you have long links 
in markdown, instead of having to line break them
like this (and move a word to the new line)

described in [section 3.4 of the GNU
Autobook](https://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_17.html). If


you can put a line break right before the URL, after the opening 
parenthesis, like this:

described in [section 3.4 of the GNU  Autobook]( https://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_17.html). If


It usually improves readability of the markdown file.
