David Bremner 00fdf10937 doc: remove explicit formatting of terms in definition lists
Sphinx-doc already formats the terms appropriately for a given
backend (bold in html and man). `makeinfo` complains noisily about
formatting inside a @item if we add our own explicit formatting.

This change may change the formatting in the info output. On the other
hand, the existing use of quotes for bold is not that great anyway.

In some places blank lines were removed to preserve the logical
structure of a definition list.

.. _notmuch-hooks(5):
=============
notmuch-hooks
=============
SYNOPSIS
========
<hook_dir>/{pre-new, post-new, post-insert}
DESCRIPTION
===========
Hooks are scripts (or arbitrary executables or symlinks to such) that
notmuch invokes before and after certain actions. These scripts reside
in a directory defined as described in :any:`notmuch-config(1)`. They
must have executable permissions.
The currently available hooks are described below.
pre-new
This hook is invoked by the :any:`notmuch-new(1)` command before
scanning or importing new messages into the database. If this hook
exits with a non-zero status, notmuch will abort further
processing of the :any:`notmuch-new(1)` command.
Typically this hook is used for fetching or delivering new mail to
be imported into the database.
post-new
This hook is invoked by the :any:`notmuch-new(1)` command after
new messages have been imported into the database and initial tags
have been applied. The hook will not be run if there have been any
errors during the scan or import.
Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
tagging on the imported messages.
post-insert
This hook is invoked by the :any:`notmuch-insert(1)` command after
the message has been delivered, added to the database, and initial
tags have been applied. The hook will not be run if there have
been any errors during the message delivery; what is regarded as
successful delivery depends on the ``--keep`` option.
Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
tagging on the delivered messages.
