-How to Install Open vSwitch on Fedora Linux
-===========================================
-
-This document provides instructions for building and installing Open vSwitch
-RPM packages on a Fedora Linux host.  Instructions for the installation of
-Open vSwitch on a Fedora Linux host without using RPM packages can be found
-in [INSTALL.rst].
-
-These instructions have been tested with Fedora 23, and are also applicable
-for RHEL 7.x and its derivatives, including CentOS 7.x and Scientific Linux
-7.x.
-
-Build Requirements
-------------------
-The tools and packages that are required for building Open vSwitch are
-documented in [INSTALL.rst]. Specific packages (by package name) include:
-
-  - rpm-build
-  - autoconf automake libtool
-  - systemd-units openssl openssl-devel
-  - python python-twisted-core python-zope-interface python-six
-  - desktop-file-utils
-  - groff graphviz
-  - procps-ng
-
-And (optionally):
-
-  - libcap-ng libcap-ng-devel
-  - dpdk-devel
-
-Building Open vSwitch RPMs for Fedora
--------------------------------------
-
-RPMs may be built from an Open vSwitch distribution tarball or from an
-Open vSwitch Git tree. The build procedure for each scenario is described
-below.
-
-### Preparing to Build Open vSwitch RPMs with a GIT Tree
-From the top-level directory of the git tree, execute the following
-commands:
-
-```
-./boot.sh
-./configure
-```
-
-### Preparing to Build Open vSwitch RPMs from a Tarball
-From a directory with appropriate permissions, execute the following commands
-(substituting the relevant Open vSwitch release version for "x.y.z"):
-
-```
-tar xzf openvswitch-x.y.z.tar.gz
-cd openvswitch-x.y.z
-./configure
-```
-
-### Building the User-Space RPMs
-To build Open vSwitch user-space RPMs, after having completed the appropriate
-preparation steps described above, execute the following from the directory
-in which `./configure` was executed:
-
-```
-make rpm-fedora
-```
-
-This will create the RPMs `openvswitch`, `python-openvswitch`,
-`openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, `openvswitch-ovn-common`,
-`openvswitch-ovn-central`, `openvswitch-ovn-host`, `openvswitch-ovn-vtep`,
-`openvswitch-ovn-docker`, and `openvswitch-debuginfo`.
-
-To enable DPDK support in the openvswitch package,
-the `--with dpdk` option can be added:
-
-```
-make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--with dpdk"
-```
-
-The above commands automatically run the Open vSwitch unit tests,
-which can take several minutes.  To reduce the build time by
-disabling the execution of these tests, the `--without check`
-option can be added:
-
-```
-make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--without check"
-```
-
-### Building the Kernel OVS Tree Datapath RPM
-To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for the currently running
-kernel version, execute:
-
-```
-make rpm-fedora-kmod
-```
-
-To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for another kernel version,
-the desired kernel version can be specified via the `kversion` macro.
-For example:
-
-```
-make rpm-fedora-kmod \
-     RPMBUILD_OPT='-D "kversion 4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64"'
-```
-
-Installing Open vSwitch RPMs
-----------------------------
-RPM packages can be installed by using the command `rpm -i`. Package
-installation requires superuser privileges.
-
-The openvswitch-kmod RPM should be installed first if the Linux OVS tree datapath
-module is to be used. The openvswitch-kmod RPM should not be installed if
-only the in-tree Linux datapath or user-space datapath is needed. See [FAQ.rst]
-for more information about the various Open vSwitch datapath options.
-
-In most cases only the `openvswitch` RPM will need to be installed. The
-`python-openvswitch`, `openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, and
-`openvswitch-debuginfo` RPMs are optional unless required for a specific
-purpose.
-
-The `openvswitch-ovn-*` packages are only needed when using OVN.
-
-See [rhel/README.RHEL] for additional usage and configuration information.
-
-Reporting Bugs

-Please report problems to bugs@openvswitch.org.

+Open vSwitch on Fedora Linux
+============================
+
+This document provides instructions for building and installing Open vSwitch
+RPM packages on a Fedora Linux host. Instructions for the installation of Open
+vSwitch on a Fedora Linux host without using RPM packages can be found in the
+`general installation guide <INSTALL.rst>`__.
+
+These instructions have been tested with Fedora 23, and are also applicable for
+RHEL 7.x and its derivatives, including CentOS 7.x and Scientific Linux 7.x.
+
+Build Requirements
+------------------
+
+To build packages for a Fedora Linux host, you will need the packages described
+in the `general installation guide <INSTALL.rst`__. Specific packages (by
+package name) include:
+
+- rpm-build
+- autoconf automake libtool
+- systemd-units openssl openssl-devel
+- python python-twisted-core python-zope-interface python-six
+- desktop-file-utils
+- groff graphviz
+- procps-ng
+
+And (optionally):
+
+- libcap-ng libcap-ng-devel
+- dpdk-devel
+
+Bootstraping
+------------
+
+Refer to the *Bootstrapping* section of the `general installation guide
+<INSTALL.rst>`__.
+
+Configuring
+-----------
+
+Refer to the *Configuring* section of the `general installation guide
+<INSTALL.rst>`__.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+User Space RPMs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To build Open vSwitch user-space RPMs, execute the following from the directory
+in which `./configure` was executed:
+
+::
+
+    $ make rpm-fedora
+
+This will create the RPMs `openvswitch`, `python-openvswitch`,
+`openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, `openvswitch-ovn-common`,
+`openvswitch-ovn-central`, `openvswitch-ovn-host`, `openvswitch-ovn-vtep`,
+`openvswitch-ovn-docker`, and `openvswitch-debuginfo`.
+
+To enable DPDK support in the openvswitch package, the ``--with dpdk`` option
+can be added:
+
+::
+
+    $ make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--with dpdk"
+
+The above commands automatically run the Open vSwitch unit tests, which can
+take several minutes.  To reduce the build time by disabling the execution of
+these tests, the ``--without check`` option can be added:
+
+::
+
+    $ make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--without check"
+
+Kernel OVS Tree Datapath RPM
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for the currently running kernel
+version, run:
+
+::
+
+    $ make rpm-fedora-kmod
+
+To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for another kernel version, the desired
+kernel version can be specified via the `kversion` macro.  For example:
+
+::
+
+    $ make rpm-fedora-kmod \
+         RPMBUILD_OPT='-D "kversion 4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64"'
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+RPM packages can be installed by using the command ``rpm -i``. Package
+installation requires superuser privileges.
+
+The `openvswitch-kmod` RPM should be installed first if the Linux OVS tree
+datapath module is to be used. The `openvswitch-kmod` RPM should not be
+installed if only the in-tree Linux datapath or user-space datapath is needed.
+See the `FAQ document <FAQ.rst>`__ for more information about the various Open
+vSwitch datapath options.
+
+In most cases only the `openvswitch` RPM will need to be installed. The
+`python-openvswitch`, `openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, and
+`openvswitch-debuginfo` RPMs are optional unless required for a specific
+purpose.
+
+The `openvswitch-ovn-*` packages are only needed when using OVN.
+
+Refer to the `RHEL README <rhel/README.RHEL.rst>`__ for additional usage and
+configuration information.
