I think this is maybe no longer as necessary, since we now have 'guix
shell --check' that will produce this kind of recommendation?

I think @file{~/.bash_profile} is clearer.

Also "ie. open up=E2=80=A6" -> "i.e., open up=E2=80=A6" or "i.e.@: open up=
=E2=80=A6"

Maybe @emph{every}, since emphasizing with capitals is typographically
suboptimal.

>> +(e.g. when entering a pure environment with @command{guix environment g=
uix

"e.g. when" -> "e.g., when" or "e.g.@: when".=20

See (info "Not Ending a Sentence") for more information.

Also, according to (info "@command"), it shoud be either @samp or @code.
After a cursory look, "guix.texi" seems to use "@code" for entire shell
command invocations.

HTH,
