commit 477ed729eee422c58f0392f2bbb24186e378f8cc

Book: minor typos corrected
Until now, in the description of the '--kernel' option in MakeProfiles, two
of the words were stuck together (with no space).
With this commit, this has been corrected.

To do that, two small modifications are necessary: add a @code{-3d} (or
@code{-3D}) to the profile name (for example @code{moffat-3d}) and add a number
(axis-ratio along the third dimension) to the end of the parameters for all
profiles except @code{point}.
The main reason behind providing an axis ratio in the third dimension is that
in 3D astronomical datasets, commonly the third dimension doesn't have the same
nature (units/sampling) as the first and second.
-For example in IFU datacubes, the first and second dimensions are
angularpositions (like RA and Dec) but the third is in units of Angstroms for
wavelength.
-Because of this different nature (which also affects theprocessing), it may be
necessary for the kernel to have a different extent in that direction.
+For example in IFU (optical) or Radio datacubes, the first and second
dimensions are commonly spatial/angular positions (like RA and Dec) but the
third dimension is wavelength or frequency (in units of Angstroms for Herz).
+Because of this different nature (which also affects the processing), it may
be necessary for the kernel to have a different extent in that direction.
If the 3rd dimension axis ratio is equal to @mymath{1.0}, then the kernel will
be a spheroid.
If its smaller than @mymath{1.0}, the kernel will be button-shaped: extended
less in the third dimension.
