Description

Fixes #1470

For reviewers

• As noted in the linked GitHub issue, this doesn't cover everything from the existing Kong Docs contributing guide. This is just meant to document some of the main changes to formatting that other users need to know to contribute to the dev site. I've created an issue to migrate the relevant content from the existing guide here: Migrate the Kong Docs contributing/style guides #1641

just one typo, otherwise lgtm!

I wonder if we can add a link to this guide from somewhere. At least in the dev site repo readme?
