So I have to confess that I've lost track of where we stand with this.
Holidays and moving house will do that...apologies.  In any case, I have a
couple of additional comments.

Please just do "...can be mounted by::"; it will do what you want.

There's still a lot of extra markup, and this seems like *way* too many
quotes...

Not sure you need to add that markup either, but beyond that...

Here you are marking up the same term in a different way.  That can only
create confusion, which is generally not the goal for the docs.

Please make another pass and try to get the markup down to a minimum;
remember that the plain-text reading experience matters too.
