I've added backticks in a few places to ensure correct highlighting in the HTML output (cf #25062).
Other changes include:
* Remove use of `1.` and `2.` separated by a code block as this was being rendered as two separate lists beginning at 1.
* Correct the spelling of successful in two places (from "succesful").
Other changes are a result of reflowing text to stay within the 80 character limit.
