-   - "MySQL server installs with default login_user of 'root' and no password.
+   - "MySQL server installs with default login_user of C(root) and no password.
      To secure this user as part of an idempotent playbook, you must create at least two tasks:
-     1) change the root user's password, without providing any login_user/login_password details,
+     1) change the root user's password, without providing any I(login_user)/I(login_password) details,
      2) drop a C(~/.my.cnf) file containing the new root credentials.
      Subsequent runs of the playbook will then succeed by reading the new credentials from the file."
