Do we prefer using block quotes for the error message, like:

- 'void' cannot be used as a function parameter except for '(void)'
+ > 'void' cannot be used as a function parameter except for '(void)'

How about the usage of Remarks and Example subheaders?

The 'typical' style for these, for no good reason that I know of other than that's what the rest use, is to avoid block quotes and to not add the ## Example or ## Remarks sections. There are some exceptions if you look around, but they are more the exception than the rule. So we may as well stay with the format most of them are in.


Type **`void`** cannot be used as an argument type with other arguments.
A function parameter cannot be of type **`void`**.

The following sample generates C2860:

```cpp
// C2860.cpp
// compile with: /c
void profunc1(void, int i); // C2860
void func10(void); // OK
void func1(void x); // C2860
void func2(void, int y); // C2860
void func3(void); // OK
```
