Any specific reason for the formatting change? Does it display differently in the installer?

I wanted to read the whole text in my code-editor, without scrolling horizontally.
And yes, I tried different variants of formatting the text, bot none work.

Yeah, > doesn't preserve newline so this should look the same. I don't think we parse these as markdown anyway so newlines would probably be removed though.

Please do refactors in separate commits though (can be same PR ofc).

Your device must be running Android 9 before installing Ubuntu Touch. This seems to be already the case for the most devices of this type.
But if you still need to flash the Android 9 stock rom, please see the install section in the link below:

Booting to recovery is not a very reliable process on this device. So you need to turn off the device first:
Unplug USB-cable and press and hold the POWER button until display turns off. If it is rebooting, repeat this until the device stays off!
If it is off, press and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and the POWER buttons at the same time until it boots.
Then only release the POWER button and keep holding the VOLUME buttons until the UBports recovery appears."

lvm-migration:
title: "LVM Migration"
description: >
On first install of the new recovery, we need to increase the available size for the rootfs.
When recovery is booted, wait until "lvm-migration" is finished. Watch the log output in the bottom of the device.
If there is no output at all or when it displays, that it is finished, push the "Continue"-Button in the installer.
