Looks good. A couple of minor points:

There is some relevant information in §3 as well, specifically, in 3.31
"Why does my bash script report an error when I run it under zsh?".
However, that question hasn't been published yet, so perhaps we should
just move it to §2.
The space in "Chapter 2" should be a non-breaking one. An nbsp() macro
was added to yodl in 4.02.00, which is the version I have, but when I
try to use it (without worrying about compatibility to older versions,
for the sake of testing), I just get «expn.yo:36: No macro: nbsp(...)».
I'm not sure why.
(Compatibility to older versions could probably be done with
IFBUILTIN().)
