Cleaned up some Markdown files putting each sentence on its own line results in no changes in output

When you run this check it does suggest setting the line length to 80. Not sure how many use a terminal to code etc.

We could do more cleanups and reduce the line length even further.

Long lines are hard to read in my editor and having this check will stop future regressions of very long lines in markdown files
