New Revision: 48680
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/48680
Log:
Editorial tweaks to the 2016Q1 report
Remove some unnecessary quotes, and use " where they remain.
(Also sprinkle some more <tt>.)
Try to use title case for <url> descriptions, and convert a few
FreeBSD into &os;.
And more.
