Research direction

Open gh-pages/_episodes/13-matplotlib.md and compare the Episode 13 sections, exercises, and solution boxes against the issue's examples. Check the duplicated paragraph, conflicting headers, duplicate or mismatched solution, and possibly redundant first example and exercise. Done means the episode has a coherent structure without those inconsistencies.

Description

Thanks a lot to the maintainers for this really nice lesson! Just want to point out some issues in the Episode 13 ("Plotting in Python"), probably arising from the resolution of some rebase/merge conflicts.

For example:

  • text appears twice (e.g. the paragraph "The Matplotlib library can be imported using" appears both in the first and second last section);
  • the second-last section has two headers ("Fine-tuning figures with Matplotlib" and "Customising our plots with Matplotlib");
  • the first exercise has two "Solution" boxes (the first one of which corresponds to a different exercise);
  • I believe that the first example & exercise in the second-last section should be removed?
