[Merge] lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp

 

Wesley Stout has proposed merging lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp.

Requested reviews:
  Tim Bentley (trb143)
  Raoul Snyman (raoul-snyman)
  Jon Tibble (meths)
  Jonathan Corwin (j-corwin)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/55988

made a few spelling corrections to troubleshooting.rst. Also made some formatting changes to help the look of things especially the links. I think I may know how to do this stuff when we get it finished. Jon that does sound much better thanks, you will teach me the language yet ;)
