The user guide isn't formatted properly for RST. Cosmetically, the lines are too long and some have extra non-printing characters. Lists aren't formatted for RST. This fixes the file so that the lines are no more than 80 characters wide, removes the non-printing characters, and makes use of RST-formatting for the lists. The text itself is not modified.

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
