Code before:

        The box extends from the first quartile (Q1) to the third
        quartile (Q3) of the data, with a line at the median.
        The whiskers extend from the box to the farthest data point
        lying within 1.5x the inter-quartile range (IQR) from the box.
        Flier points are those past the end of the whiskers.
        See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot for reference.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : 1D array or sequence of 1D arrays or 2D array
            The input data.

            - If a 1D array, a single box is drawn.
            - If a sequence of 1D arrays, a box is drawn for each array in the sequence.
            - If a 2D array, a box is drawn for each column in the array.

        notch : bool, default: :rc:`boxplot.notch`
            Whether to draw a notched boxplot (`True`), or a rectangular
            boxplot (`False`).  The notches represent the confidence interval
            (CI) around the median.  The documentation for *bootstrap*
            describes how the locations of the notches are computed by
            default, but their locations may also be overridden by setting the
            *conf_intervals* parameter.

            .. note::

                In cases where the values of the CI are less than the
                lower quartile or greater than the upper quartile, the
                notches will extend beyond the box, giving it a
                distinctive "flipped" appearance. This is expected
                behavior and consistent with other statistical
                visualization packages.

        sym : str, optional
            The default symbol for flier points.  An empty string ('') hides
            the fliers.  If `None`, then the fliers default to 'b+'.  More
            control is provided by the *flierprops* parameter.

        vert : bool, optional
            .. deprecated:: 3.11

Review comment (suggestion):
```suggestion
            - 1D array: a single box is drawn.
            - sequence of 1D arrays:  a box is drawn for each array in the sequence.
            - 2D array: a box is drawn for each column in the array.
```

this is purely preference so can merge w/o accepting, but I think the if boilerplate is unnecessary when it's in bullets

Code after:

        The box extends from the first quartile (Q1) to the third
        quartile (Q3) of the data, with a line at the median.
        The whiskers extend from the box to the farthest data point
        lying within 1.5x the inter-quartile range (IQR) from the box.
        Flier points are those past the end of the whiskers.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : 1D array or sequence of 1D arrays or 2D array
            The input data. Possible values:

            - 2D array: A box is drawn for each column in the array.
