🔄 Before/After Comparison

Vale Results

Before:

✖ 6 errors, 2 warnings and 93 suggestions in 8 files

The documentation is ready for DITA conversion and meets Red Hat style guide standards.

[jlprevatt]

The existing doc for creating a support case doesn't match the most current GUI workflow, so it must be based on a previous workflow/GUI. However, making those improvements are outside the scope of the CQA activity. I made notes that can be used to create an issue in our docs backlog for those improvements.

Otherwise, LGTM.
