-        When Eclipse was restarted using <code>File > Restart</code>, <code>File > Switch Workspace</code> or after installing a P2 updatesite, 
-        it used to restart with same arguments as it was started for the first time. Any change done by the user manually or by any touchpoint 
-        to <code>eclipse.ini</code> was not considered on restart and user had to exit the Eclipse and start it again from launcher to make 
-        the <code>eclipse.ini</code> changes effective.
+        Previously when Eclipse was restarted using <code>File &rarr; Restart</code> or <code>File &rarr; Switch Workspace</code> as well as after installing or updating from a p2 update site, 
+        it restarted with same arguments as those in effect for the initial start. 
+        Any manual changes made to the <code>eclipse.ini</code>, as well as changes made by  p2 touchpoints when installing or updating, were ignored.
+        To actually apply the changes of a modified <code>eclipse.ini</code>, it was necessary to exit the application and restart it from the launcher.
         </p>
         <p>
-        Now Eclipse launcher is enhanced to reload Eclipse configuration files on restarts, hence any change done in <code>eclipse.ini</code> gets 
-        effective on restart. Any arguments mentioned by the user to Eclipse launcher are still kept effective on restarts. However, if the restart 
-        command provided by Eclipse contains <code>--launcher.skipOldUserArgs</code> argument then the user provided arguments to launcher are ignored.
+        Now the Eclipse launcher is enhanced to reload the configuration files on restart,
+        so any changes to the <code>eclipse.ini</code> take effect immediately.
+        In addition, any command line arguments specified for the initial launch remain in effect on restart,
+        except if the restart command contains <code style="white-space: nowrap;">--launcher.skipOldUserArgs</code>.
