in this page of document: [https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/A%20Basic%20Starting%20Point.html](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/A%20Basic%20Starting%20Point.html)

I think the sentence: `Also note that each step in the tutorial builds on the next` should be `Also note that each step in the tutorial builds on the previous`

if needed I can create a PR
