Previously, many paragraphs in the documentation used `::` at the end of a line as a replacement for a single colon (and `::` on the following line). Due to this, the `::` was part of the extracted string for localization. Weblate also showed a warning about the trailing `::`, as it's not normally expected to be there. This change requires translators to revalidate all modified strings. However, considering many of those have broken code blocks due to translators replacing `::` with `:`, it can be a good idea. This also adds documentation writing guidelines for code blocks and admonitions. This commit does not modify existing admonitions in any way (as this would lead to a much larger diff, and require more localizable text to be revalidated by translators).
Godot Engine documentation

Theming
The Godot documentation uses the default sphinx_rtd_theme with many
customizations applied on top. It will automatically switch between
the light and dark theme depending on your browser/OS' theming preference.
If you use Firefox and wish to use the dark theme regardless of your OS configuration, you can install the Dark Website Forcer add-on.
