Hi Mark,

The _note target should be more specific since the these targets are used
across all the documentation. So something like _gso_note would be better.
Or alternatively leave out the target and just say something in the text
like "See the note below.", without the link, since the note is quite close
to the referring text.

Also, the note isn't indented to the level of the bullet point. I don't know
if that is intentional or not but I would say there should be an additional
3 spaces indentation from ..note:: to the end of the note.

With or without these changes:
