There was a formatting change a few years ago, but for the most part, we have switched to the standard of multiple asterisks. The use of ":*" worked fine for us before, but it was brought to our attention that in situations where users who might be blind were using reader software, the "**" was read as it should be (as a sub-grouping), and ":*" was read improperly as an indent (which is technically proper, because that's what it is).

So, ideally, if you see a ":*" lying around, change it to a double-asterisk.
