Author SHA1 Message Date
Wolfgang Müller f4412fc032 Have the reference to Voting.Syntaxen be a hyperlink 
This will make for an easier time finding the relevant section.
 2021-06-22 11:20:18 +02:00
Wolfgang Müller f52da0a59b Add labels to subsections 
An upcoming commit will want to link to one of these, so make sure that
every single one is able to be referenced in the future.

Wolfgang Müller 5527135a67 Add a comma in the lawrememberer bullet point 
This attempts to make the sentence less awkward to read.

Wolfgang Müller ca08591a50 Add manual page breaks 
Currently the page breaks whenever it is full. This may lead to sections
being broken after just one sentence. Since we render a PDF and there is
no dynamic flow of content we can make more informed decisions about
when and where to break the page.

This commit adds two manual calls to \pagebreak which make it such that
section 3 and 4 are not laid out across multiple pages.
