If you want to do this, what's the reason to limit it to just this one
page of the docs?

If the following is anything to go by, it doesn't seem we're very
consistent about this over the entire documentation.

doc$ git grep "<literal>on</literal>" | wc -l
122

doc$ git grep "<literal>true</literal>" | wc -l
222

And:

doc$ git grep "<literal>off</literal>" | wc -l
102

doc$ git grep "<literal>false</literal>" | wc -l
162

I think unless we're going to standardise on something then there's
not much point in adjusting individual cases. IMO, there could be an
endless stream of follow-on patches as a result of accepting this.
