Misty Stanley-Jones 7196026b57 Standardized formatting of CLI reference commands
Command name should be a H1

Only Description, Examples, and Related Commands should be H2

Changed 'Related information' heading to 'Related commands' since 99% it is only linking commands

Added some examples where relevant

# volume inspect
```markdown
Usage: docker volume inspect [OPTIONS] VOLUME [VOLUME...]
Display detailed information on one or more volumes
Options:
-f, --format string Format the output using the given Go template
--help Print usage
```
## Description
Returns information about a volume. By default, this command renders all results
in a JSON array. You can specify an alternate format to execute a
given template for each result. Go's
[text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package describes all the
details of the format.

```bash
$ docker volume create
