 SECURITY UPDATE
 
--   Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be \[0, 2\^63 - 1\]. This mitigates an attack where malicious events injected with depth = 2\^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering of events in such a room will default to using stream\_ordering rather than depth (topological\_ordering).
+-   Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be `[0, 2^63 - 1]`. This mitigates an attack where malicious events injected with `depth = 2^63 - 1` render rooms unusable. Depth is used to determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering of events in such a room will default to using `stream_ordering` rather than `depth` (topological ordering).
 
     This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
