 Here's an effort to document some of the academic work that was
 referenced during the implementation of cairo. It is presented in the
 context of operations as they would be performed by either
-cairo_stroke() or cairo_fill():
+`cairo_stroke()` or `cairo_fill()`:
 
 Given a Bézier path, approximate it with line segments:

 Then, if stroking, construct a polygonal representation of the pen
 approximating a circle (if filling skip three steps):

 Now, "convolve" the "tracing" of the pen with the tracing of the path:

 The result of the convolution is a polygon that must be filled. A fill
 operations begins here. We use a very conventional Bentley-Ottmann
 pass for computing the intersections, informed by some hints on robust
 implementation courtesy of John Hobby:

 Hobby's primary contribution in that paper is his "tolerance square"
 algorithm for robustness against edges being "bent" due to restricting
 intersection coordinates to the grid available by finite-precision
 arithmetic. This is one algorithm we have not implemented yet.
