Research direction

Open BUILDING.md and inspect the line before the first level-1 header and the line after the final paragraph. Correct the Markdown syntax issues and change "it's" to "its" in the first Angular CLI paragraph. Done means the unintended horizontal rule and paragraph header are removed and the wording is corrected.

Description

bug infrastructure P2

Markdown interprets a line composed of three or more dashes as a horizontal rule if the prior line is blank. A line of one or more dashes preceded by a non-blank line makes that prior line a level-1 header.

In BUILDING.md, there's a line of three dashes immediately preceding the first level-1 header (Angular CLI), which is interpreted as a horizontal rule. I'm not convinced that was intended. More serious is the fact that the final paragraph is immediately followed by a line of three dashes, making the entire paragraph a level-1 header — a definite mistake.

Additionally, the first paragraph of Angular CLI uses "it's" where "its" should be used.

I can create a PR if that would help.
