 Regular options
 ---------------
 
-``-v, --verbose``:
+``-v, --verbose``
 
     Increase verbosity. This shows a test per line while running and also
     shows the traceback after interrupting the test run with Ctrl-C.
 
 
-``-x, --exitfirst``:
+``-x, --exitfirst``
 
     exit instantly on the first error or the first failed test.
 
 
-``-s, --nocapture``:
+``-s, --nocapture``
 
     disable catching of sys.stdout/stderr output.
 
 
-``-k KEYWORD``:
+``-k KEYWORD``
 
     only run test items matching the given keyword expression. You can also add
     use ``-k -KEYWORD`` to exlude tests from being run. The keyword is matched
     against filename, test class name, method name.
 
 
-``-l, --showlocals``:
+``-l, --showlocals``
     show locals in tracebacks: for every frame in the traceback, show the values
     of the local variables.
 
 
-``--pdb``:
+``--pdb``
 
     drop into pdb (the `Python debugger`_) on exceptions. If the debugger is
     quitted, the next test is run. This implies ``-s``.
 
 
-``--tb=TBSTYLE``:
+``--tb=TBSTYLE``
     
     traceback verboseness: ``long`` is the default, ``short`` are the normal
     Python tracebacks, ``no`` omits tracebacks completely.
 
 
-``--fulltrace``:
+``--fulltrace``
 
     Don't cut any tracebacks. The default is to leave out frames if an infinite
     recursion is detected.
 
 
-``--nomagic``:
+``--nomagic``
 
     Refrain from using magic as much as possible. This can be useful if you are
     suspicious that ``py.test`` somehow interferes with your program in
     unintended ways (if this is the case, please contact us!).
 
 
-``--collectonly``:
+``--collectonly``
 
     Only collect tests, don't execute them.
 
 
-``--traceconfig``:
+``--traceconfig``
 
     trace considerations of conftest.py files. Useful when you have various
     conftest.py files around and are unsure about their interaction.

     to fix a number of failing tests: First all the tests are being run. If a

-``--exec=EXECUTABLE``:
+``--exec=EXECUTABLE``
 
     Python executable to run the tests with. Useful for testing on different
     versions of Python.
 
 
-``-d, --dist``:
+``-d, --dist``
 
     ad-hoc `distribute tests across machines`_ (requires conftest settings)
 
 
-``-w, --startserver``:

     starts local web server for displaying test progress.
 
 
-``-r, --runbrowser``:
+``-r, --runbrowser``
 
     Run browser (implies --startserver).
 
 
-``--box``:
+``--box``
 
     Use boxing: run each test in an external process. Very useful for testing
     things that occasionally segfault (since normally the segfault then would
     stop the whole test process).
 
-``--rest``:
+``--rest``
 
     `reStructured Text`_ output reporting.
