Pull request overview
This PR updates XML API reference documentation across several Microsoft.* namespaces to clean up xref links (notably removing %2A from property references) and to normalize markdown formatting inside <format type="text/markdown"> blocks.
Changes:
- Updates xref links to properties/members to avoid
%2A-suffixed references in Microsoft namespaces. - Normalizes markdown formatting (blank lines, headings, and callout formatting) in remarks/examples blocks.
- Makes a few minor wording/link-target adjustments while touching the affected lines.
