* Improve format and clarity of the docs [ci skip] While this change produces a lot of git noise by enacting what seems like an arbitrary linewrap on most of the files in the documentation it will result in better version control and tracking of the changes in the documentation. For example, as it currently stands, if one was to make a PR to move a comma in a sentence because each paragraph in most of the files is on a single line, that small change would look in the git history like the author had modified the entire paragraph. In reality, this author just moved a comma. This change also includes a significant number of modifications to the more article-esque docs. Many of these docs were written in a sort of stream-of-conciousness and aren't as easy to read as they could be. Hopefully this is the first of several readability changes. If we could get these docs to a more accessible reading level, we would probably see an increase in contributions. :) * Delegate markdown wrapping to Prettier * Add linewrapping explanation in the docs [ci skip]

Installation Guide
There are many different ways you can install the development environment so you can help contribute code to DEV.
Installing locally
You can install DEV to your local machine and we have instructions for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Running Docker
Installing to your local machine can be troublesome for many reasons such as a conflicting database and runtime versions.
Another way you can get a development environment up and running is with Docker. Docker will install everything you need in an isolated container, and you need not concern about the details. We have instructions for installing with Docker.
GitPod - beginner friendly!
If you are having trouble with local installation and Docker confuses you, then you can launch a development environment with the press of a button with GitPod.
GitPod is an IDE in the cloud which is also attached to a web server. It will install everything you need. If you are comfortable doing everything from a web browser, then we have instructions for installing with GitPod as well.
