The FreeBSD GSG rst files had very inconsistent line lengths for text within paragraph blocks. Sometimes a line would be very short, while often lines would be quite long. This patch adjusts the formatting of the rst files so that lines break at approx the 80-character mark, as is standard in the DPDK source code.

============
|
|
|
|
This document contains instructions for installing and configuring the Intel®
|
|
Data Plane Development Kit(Intel® DPDK) software. It is designed to get customers
|
|
up and running quickly. The document describes how to compile and run an Intel®
|
|
DPDK application in a FreeBSD* application (bsdapp) environment, without going
|
|
deeply into detail.
|
|
|
|
For a comprehensive guide to installing and using FreeBSD*, the following
|
|
handbook is available from the FreeBSD* Documentation Project:
