Show how to run make for a file matching a pattern rule

gcapes opened this issue · comments

Pattern rules were the area learners flagged as something they would like to go over again.

It might be good to spend more time on this by showing that you can run e.g. make isles.dat as well as make dats. This then shows that the functionality of the individual rules for making the dat files hasn't disappeared, rather is just expressed differently.
