Joe Martin (Crowdstaffing) 42289f25c6 docs: improve markdown (#45325)
The purpose of the changes is to clean all markdown to match a single pedantic style.

*   To ensure all changes in style are properly separated.
*   To ensure all styled content aligns to nearest 4-character-tab.
*   To ensure all code blocks use the Angular `<code-example>` or `<code-tab>` elements.
*   To ensure all markdown exists outside of html tags.
*   To ensure all images use the Angular style for `<img>` elements.
*   To ensure that all smart punctuation is replaced or removed.

    ```text
    ’, ’, “, ”, –, —, …
    ```

*   To ensure all content does not conflict with the following reserved characters.

    ```text
    @, $, *, &, #, |, <, >,
    ```

*   To ensure all content displays using html entities.

The following changes were made to files in the following directory.

```text
aio/content
```

The target files were markdown files.
The list of excluded files:

```text
.browserslistrc, .css, .conf, .editorconfig, .gitignore, .html, .js, .json, .sh, .svg, .ts, .txt, .xlf,
```

# Angular Routing
In a single-page app, you change what the user sees by showing or hiding portions of the display that correspond to particular components, rather than going out to the server to get a new page.
As users perform application tasks, they need to move between the different [views](guide/glossary#view "Definition of view") that you have defined.
To handle the navigation from one [view](guide/glossary#view) to the next, you use the Angular **`Router`**.
The **`Router`** enables navigation by interpreting a browser URL as an instruction to change the view.
To explore a sample app featuring the router's primary features, see the <live-example name="router"></live-example>.
## Prerequisites
Before creating a route, you should be familiar with the following:
* [Basics of components](guide/architecture-components)
* [Basics of templates](guide/glossary#template)
* An Angular app &mdash;you can generate a basic Angular application using the [Angular CLI](cli).
