 Legend support for Boxplot
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Boxplots now generate legend entries and can be labelled with the
-new `label` parameter. If a patch is passed to the box with `show_patch=True`,
+new *label* parameter. If a patch is passed to the box with ``show_patch=True``,
 the legend gets its handle from the patch instead of the `.Line2D` object from
 the whiskers.
-The old `labels` parameter that was used for setting tick labels is deprecated
-and replaced with `tick_labels`.
+The old *labels* parameter that was used for setting tick labels is deprecated
