Dave Collins 9918e2a561 multi: Update markdown files for GFM changes. The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links and now requires a newline in between anchors and other formatting. This updates all of the markdown files accordingly. While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in some of the README.md files.		2017-05-25 12:06:16 -05:00
