 ndn-cxx logging facility provides a mechanism to manage the type of log messages
 that are written by classifying log messages by severity levels. Listed below
-are the available log levels.

-**Log Levels:**
-
-::
-
-    TRACE
-    DEBUG
-    INFO
-    WARN
-    ERROR
-    FATAL
+* TRACE
+* DEBUG
+* INFO
+* WARN
+* ERROR
+* FATAL
 
 A message's severity level will determine whether the log is written. For instance,
 if an application sets its log severity level to DEBUG, all messages marked with
 DEBUG, or any of those below that level, are written. FATAL level logs are always
 written.
