 ```text
-$ curl -X POST -d '{}' localhost:2020/api/v2/reload
+curl -X POST -d '{}' localhost:2020/api/v2/reload
 ```

-* `GET /api/v2/reload`
+Obtain a count of hot reload using the HTTP endpoint:
 
-The endpoint returns the count of hot-reloaded as follows:
+- `GET /api/v2/reload`
+
+The endpoint returns `hot_reload_count` as follows:
 
 ```json
 {"hot_reload_count":3}
 ```
 
-The default value of that number is 0.
