| You can position and style minor ticks on a Cartesian axis using `minor`. This takes a `dict` of properties to apply to minor ticks. Available properties include: `tickmode`, `tickvals`, `tickcolor`, `ticklen`, `tickwidth`, `dtick`, `tick0`, `nticks`, `ticks`, `showgrid`, `gridcolor`, `griddash`, and `gridwidth`. | ||
| You can position and style minor ticks on a Cartesian axis using the `minor` attribute. This takes a `dict` of properties to apply to minor ticks. See the [figure reference](https://plotly.com/python/reference/layout/xaxis/#layout-xaxis-minor) for full details on the accepted keys in this dict. |

in general I don't like listing options in the prose docs, as these lists get stale. It's better to link to the reference if needed

when updating a single attribute or two, I try to favour 'magic underscores' like this, to remind folks this exists
| fig = px.scatter(df, x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", facet_col="species") | ||
| fig.update_xaxes(showgrid=True, gridwidth=1, gridcolor='LightPink', griddash='dot') | ||
| fig.update_yaxes(showgrid=True, gridwidth=1, gridcolor='LightPink') | ||
| fig.update_xaxes(gridcolor='black', griddash='dash', minor_griddash="dot") |

the pink was not very attractive, and was hard to see IMO. also, showgrid is on by default in xaxes and gridwidth=1 by default. I try not to explicitly set the defaults in the docs, so folks don't think it's necessary.

this line wasn't really doing much for the docs so I dropped it

| fig = px.line(df, x='Date', y='AAPL.High') | ||

this was one huuuuge line that needed breaking up into indented code.

| ticklen=4, | ||
| dtick=7*24*60*60*1000, | ||
| tick0="2016-07-03", |

I changed this to sundays so that when you zoom in you don't get major ticks on sundays AND minor ticks on mondays ;)

Thanks for the feedback @nicolaskruchten |
@LiamConnors here are some tweaks to the docs you recently wrote, just FYI.
