Sure.

I do prefer to use code block with title as a summary, like in this page:
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/FreeSWITCH+1.6+Video

We have a page trying to cover the basic guidelines for the docs, take a
look here
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Confluence+Wiki+Standards+and+Guidelines

Other than that, as we talked in #freeswitch-docs, you're doing a GREAT
JOB, thank you so much!

I do prefer to use {code}, if the line is big it'll force the user to
scroll horizontally like this one

We'll review soon.

Not sure...

I think this doc is a little outdated, not sure if we should link to it.
Can you send me the page that is linking to this?
