--------------------------------+--------------------------
 Hello everyone,
 I just started playing around with Tor a few days back so as one could
 expect I started with `README.1st.md` file. I realized that different
 `*.md` files are not consistent style-wise so I decided to clean them up a
 bit.

 Brief summary:

 - no empty line at the very beginning of the file,
 - single empty line between sections (sometimes there were two)

 {{{
 ... end of the sentence.

 New Section
 ----
 }}}

 rather than

 {{{
 ... end of the sentence.


 New Section
 ----
 }}}


 - external links use [name](url) format,
 - there is no single space in front of the section name

 {{{
  Foo
 ===
 }}}
 is changed to

 {{{
 Foo
 ===
 }}}

 Which fixes syntax issues in editors like GNU Emacs with enabled markdown
 preview.

 - I tried to check all links (local and external) and fix the ones which
 were broken.

 For example **the Tor proposal process** inside `README.1st.md` or
 `doc/WritingTests.txt` were changed to `.../doc/HACKING/WritingTests.md`
 in few places).

 ----

 At the very end of `README.1st.md` file there are some TODO (I think?)
 sections. I wrapped them around in "TODO" section.


 {{{
 TODO
 -----------------------

 XXXXX also describe

 doc/HACKING/WritingTests.md

 torguts.git

 torspec.git

 The design paper

 freehaven.net/anonbib

 XXXX describe these and add links.
 }}}

 However I am not sure if these are still needed there. Most of these
 topics are mentioned already in this file and linked to other files
 (WritingTests, torspec, etc.).
