@adrifoster I'm asking for your review of this FATES-related docs PR. Notes:

  • Only line 63 is relevant to the title of the PR.
  • The rest are formatting changes to get the .md file to render as a readable page in the docs rather than as a hard-to-read single-line string.

You can build the docs in my PR using Sam R.'s new tool ./preview_docs_pr if you want to see what I mean.
