New Revision: 396587
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/396587
Log:
Reformat port description text and split it into three paragraphs to improve
readability. Previously the right margin was touching a terminal border for
standard 80-character width (fmt -w 80) while better appeal is achieved with
72-76 values. Also, separate sentences with double space as it looks better
when using fixed-width (monospace) fonts and is how we typically format text
in FreeBSD.

+HDF4 (originally known as HDF) is file format for storing scientific data

-HDF technologies at present include two data management formats (HDF4 and HDF5)
-and libraries, a modular data browser/editor, associated tools and utilities,
-and a conversion library. Both HDF4 and HDF5 were designed to be a general
-scientific format, adaptable to virtually any scientific or engineering
-application, and also have been used successfully in non-technical areas. The
-Open Source format is a key technological foundation for HDF core technologies.
-It allows users to collaborate with The HDF Group regarding functionality
-requirements and permits users' experience and knowledge to be incorporated into
-the HDF product when appropriate. It also permits users and organizations
-without adequate technology resources to use a sophisticated and robust data
-management tool for no charge.
