Minor corrections to the existing tools appendix
With this commit, I have corrected some minor typos of this appendix. In addition to that, I also put empty lines to separate subsections and subsubsections appropiately (5 lines and 1 line, respectively).

\textbf{Criterion 7: Including narrative that is linked to analysis.}
A project is not just its computational analysis.
A raw plot, figure, or table is hardly meaningful alone, even when accompanied by the code that generated it.

+A narrative description is also a deliverable (defined as ``data article'' in \cite{austin17}): describing the purpose of the computations, interpretations of the result, and the context in relation to other projects/papers.
This is related to longevity, because if a workflow contains only the steps to do the analysis or generate the plots, in time it may get separated from its accompanying published paper.
