 We have a bunch of lint categories to allow you to choose how much Clippy is supposed to ~~annoy~~ help you:
 
 * `clippy::all` (everything that is on by default: all the categories below except for `nursery`, `pedantic`, and `cargo`)
-* **`clippy::correctness`** (code that is just outright wrong or very very useless, causes hard errors by default)
+* `clippy::correctness` (code that is just **outright wrong** or **very very useless**, causes hard errors by default)
 * `clippy::style` (code that should be written in a more idiomatic way)
 * `clippy::complexity` (code that does something simple but in a complex way)
 * `clippy::perf` (code that can be written in a faster way)
