Subject: [PATCH] DOC: Standardize example titles - part 2

Follow up to #28544. As there:

Following recommendations from #28527, this improves example titles.
Take this as an incremental improvement. I've changed what I saw  t a
glance when going through the examples once. Certainly, one could do
further improvements, but that can be done in follow-ups.
