Alexandra Settle 85107272be [contrib-guide] Updating url to doc-contrib-guide

as the doc contrib guide outside of the title.

This change includes a redirect.

Specific information blocks

Use special markups to emphasize specific information within your document. Depending on specific semantic meaning of the message, you can use:

  • note - for a message of generic meaning.
  • warning or important - includes details that can be easily missed, but should not be ignored by a user and are valuable before proceeding.
  • caution - delivers information that prevents a user from mistakes and undesirable consequences when following the procedures.
  • tip or seealso - wraps extra but helpful information.

Here is the example of the note directive usage; these can be applied to all the admonition directives described above.

   This is the text of a generic admonition.
   This line is the continuation of the first line.

   A note may contain bulleted or enumerated lists,
   as well as code blocks:

   * First option,
   * ...
