Help
that you might want to look at? Although I still don’t see the purpose for this. Please do not keep trying to change trivial, unnecessary things for Bitcoin Core, it’s just a waste of devs time for more important improvements.
@molxyz Regarding your comment about changing “trivial” things: Isn’t that a very good way for newcomers to get used to the contribution process and learn the way around the docs and the code? I certainly think so. And in the process, Bitcoin Core gets many small improvements in areas where more experienced devs rarely work. It’s a win-win!
If “trivial” PRs take too much time for devs, we have a delegation problem. Reviewing “trivial” PRs could and should be delegated appropriately. Please don’t scare away newcomers that want to (learn how to) contribute. I am one them.
The following sections might be updated with supplementary metadata relevant to reviewers and maintainers.
No conflicts as of last run.

It seems that whatever FormatParagraph
is meant to be doing doesn’t have much of an affect in the About Core dialog, as the output appears the same with or without this commit.
