Subject: [PATCH] [Documentation:System] Clarify opening and closing symbols
 need to match in Markdown (#571)

Markdown allows using two different sets of symbols for the same action
(bold, italic, etc.) but needs the starting symbol and the closing
symbol to be the same symbol, so no mix-and-matching is allowed.
