[PATCH] Documentation: Kunit: Update architecture.rst for minor fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Updated the architecture.rst page with the following changes:
-Add missing article _the_ across the document.
-Reword content across for style and standard.
-Upate all occurrences of Command Line to Command-line across the document.
-Correct grammatical issues, for example - added _it_wherever missing.
-Update all occurrences of _via_ to either use _through_ or _using_.
-Update the text preceding the external links and pushed the full
link to a new line for better readability.
-Reword content under the config command to make it more clear and concise.
