         (HMAT) support. The default is off.
 
-     ``memory-backend='id'``
+    ``memory-backend='id'``
         An alternative to legacy ``-mem-path`` and ``mem-prealloc`` options.
         Allows to use a memory backend as main RAM.
 
         For example:
         ::
-        -object memory-backend-file,id=pc.ram,size=512M,mem-path=/hugetlbfs,prealloc=on,share=on
-        -machine memory-backend=pc.ram
-        -m 512M
+
+            -object memory-backend-file,id=pc.ram,size=512M,mem-path=/hugetlbfs,prealloc=on,share=on
+            -machine memory-backend=pc.ram
+            -m 512M
 
         Migration compatibility note:
-        a) as backend id one shall use value of 'default-ram-id', advertised by
-        machine type (available via ``query-machines`` QMP command), if migration
-        to/from old QEMU (<5.0) is expected.
-        b) for machine types 4.0 and older, user shall
-        use ``x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id=off`` backend option
-        if migration to/from old QEMU (<5.0) is expected.
