Much like the O'Reilly series of Cookbooks, the text analysis recipes below are meant to provide succinct instructions for completing specific tasks, while also discussing the important concepts that would allow the instructions to be generalized to similar tasks. Each recipe follows the same basic structure:
- Ingredients: a brief list of the essential materials needed (digital text, specific tools, etc.)
- Steps: the sequence of brief instructions to follow
- Discussion: a more prosaic explanation of the tasks, including possible variants and potential pitfalls
- Next Steps/Further Information: suggestions of further activities and pointers to other relevant information
