Resolves #1529.

The ERC-20 specification used inconsistent formatting for notes across function descriptions:

  • transfer() and transferFrom(): *Note* (italics, no colon)
  • approve(): **NOTE**: (bold all-caps with colon)

This PR standardizes all three to Option 1 from the issue — **Note:** (bold with colon) — which is the conventional Markdown idiom and renders cleanly without the shouting tone of all-caps.

Changes

Function Before After
transfer() *Note* **Note:**
transferFrom() *Note* **Note:**
approve() **NOTE**: **Note:**

Single file changed (ERCS/erc-20.md), three small edits, no semantic content modified.

Resolves ethereum#1529.

Standardizes the inconsistent note formatting in ERC-20 function
descriptions to use `**Note:**` (bold with colon) consistently:

- transfer(): `*Note*` -> `**Note:**`
- transferFrom(): `*Note*` -> `**Note:**`
- approve(): `**NOTE**:` -> `**Note:**`

Adopts Option 1 from the issue (bold with colon) for cleaner rendering
and consistency with conventional Markdown idioms.
