HERE-DOCUMENTS

The body reaches the command as a single word, and one quote in the delimiter decides whether it arrives as typed

Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.

Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.

Formats: A4 · A3 · A2
What you get: Print-ready PDFs, one per size, with every letterform converted to outlines — nothing to install, nothing to shift.
Subject: code · everyone · memo · study

Read from top to bottom: what reaches the command under the two spellings of the delimiter, which expansions happen in the body, and which whitespace matters. Every line was printed by /bin/sh.

A QUOTE ANYWHERE IN THE WORD TURNS EXPANSION OFF ENTIRELY

The standard says: “If any part of word is quoted … the here-document lines shall not be expanded”. Not “the word in quotes” but any part of it — so <<EO'F' and <<E\OF give the same delimiter EOF and the same silence in the body.

One character in the word is enough: the rest of the word stays the letters of the delimiter, and the body reaches the command as typed. That is why the quotes go around the whole word — to be seen, not to obey a rule.

On the sheet

Read from top to bottom: what reaches the command under the two spellings of the delimiter, which expansions happen in the body, and which whitespace matters. Every line was printed by /bin/sh.
Colour carries meaning, but meaning never rests on colour alone — the sheet reads in black and white.
Nothing about how it was made: the sheet carries only what the reader needs.

Printing

Three sizes in the archive: A4 — 210×297 mm, A3 — 297×420 mm, A2 — 420×594 mm.
All text is converted to outlines. No fonts to install, and nothing shifts on another machine.
White background and sparing fills — it prints on a home printer without draining the cartridge.
Margins of at least 10 mm: a home printer cannot print to the edge.
No stroke thinner than 0.3 mm, so nothing disappears in print.

Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 10 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
