 <p>
 Often it is useful to be able to re-run the same test with different settings.
 For example, changing the number of threads or loops, or changing a hostname.
 </p>
 <p>
 One way to do this is to define a set of variables on the Test Plan, and then use those variables in the test elements.
-For example, one could define the variable LOOPS=10, and refer to that in the Thread Group as ${LOOPS}. 
-To run the test with 20 loops, just change the value of the LOOPS variable on the Test Plan.
+For example, one could define the variable <span class="code">LOOPS=10</span>, and refer to that in the Thread Group as <span class="code">${LOOPS}</span>.
+To run the test with 20 loops, just change the value of the <span class="code">LOOPS</span> variable on the Test Plan.
 </p>
 <p>
 This quickly becomes tedious if you want to run lots of tests in non-GUI mode.
 One solution to this is to define the Test Plan variable in terms of a property,
 for example <span class="code">LOOPS=${__P(loops,10))}</span>.
-This uses the value of the property "loops", defaulting to 10 if the property is not found.
-The "loops" property can then be defined on the JMeter command-line:
-<span class="code">jmeter ... -Jloops=12 ...</span>.
-If there are a lot of properties that need to be changed together, 
+This uses the value of the property "<span class="code">loops</span>", defaulting to <span class="code">10</span> if the property is not found.

 then one way to achieve this is to use a set of property files.

 be asked first, and additionally a number of resources that will be needed. You
 will need some hardware to run the benchmarks/load-tests from. A number of
