Misty Stanley-Jones 52df69f00d Standardized formatting of CLI reference commands 
Command name should be a H1

Only Description, Examples, and Related Commands should be H2

Changed 'Related information' heading to 'Related commands' since 99% it is only linking commands

Added some examples where relevant

rmi The rmi command description and usage remove, image, Docker

rmi

Usage:  docker rmi [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]

Remove one or more images

Options:
  -f, --force      Force removal of the image
      --help       Print usage
      --no-prune   Do not delete untagged parents

Examples

You can remove an image using its short or long ID, its tag, or its digest. If an image has one or more tag referencing it, you must remove all of them before the image is removed. Digest references are removed automatically when an image is removed by tag.

$ docker images

If you use the -f flag and specify the image's short or long ID, then this command untags and removes all images that match the specified ID.

$ docker images

REPOSITORY                TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

An image pulled by digest has no tag associated with it:

$ docker images --digests

REPOSITORY                     TAG       DIGEST                                                                    IMAGE ID        CREATED         SIZE

To remove an image using its digest:

$ docker rmi localhost:5000/test/busybox@sha256:cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d422812b6a5adff7dfee951d8fa2e4a98caa0382cfbdbf
