 Firstly a few things must be pointed out:
 
 - Flux applies the same logic that is used by the telegraf Graphite template
   pattern e.g. `template = "host.tags.measurement.field"` - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/serializers/graphite
-- Flux replaces  `.` for `_` and `/` for `-` in any tags, measurement or fields
+- Flux replaces  ``.` for ``_`` and ``/`` for ``-`` in any tags, measurement or fields
   in which these characters are found.
 - The additional `outputs.http.headers` **must** be specified.
-- `content_encoding` must be set to gzip
+- ``content_encoding`` must be set to gzip
 - There are a number of status codes that telegraf should not resubmit data on
   these are to ensure telegraf does not attempt to send the same bad data or
   too much data over and over again.
