[Discuss] Decide on directive leading characters.

[Mpdreamz]

Today we support both:

```{directive} arguments
:option: value
<content>
```

as well as:

:::{directive} arguments
:option: value
<content>
:::

The latter is recommended by Myst itself: https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#syntax-colon-fence because it plays better with markdown editors and syntax highlighting.

As can be seen right here on GitHub:

```{directive} arguments
:option: value

# hello world
[a link](http://www.google.com] with  **bold** text
```

:::{directive} arguments
:option: value

# hello world
[a link](http://www.google.com] with  **bold** text
:::

or as seen in an code editor:

Although this is less of an issue with the MYST plugin for VS code:

Intelij has no Myst support although its being tracked:

My vote would be for all our documentation we use ::: over triple backticks.

My vote would be for all our documentation we use ::: over triple backticks.

I fully support this.

Why?

Because I've been burned using ' instead of ` way too many times.

👍 Makes sense to me. Let's do it.
