+Playbook Keywords
+=================
-Here we list the common playbook objects and their directives.
-Note that not all directives affect the object itself and might just be there to be inherited by other contained objects.
-Aliases for the directives are not reflected here, nor are mutable ones, for example `action` in task can be substituted by the name of any module plugin.
+These are the keywords available on common playbook objects.
+
+.. note:: Please note:
+
+ * Aliases for the directives are not reflected here, nor are mutable one. For example,
+ :term:`action` in task can be substituted by the name of any Ansible module.
+ * The keywords do not have ``version_added`` information at this time
+ * Some keywords set defaults for the objects inside of them rather than for the objects
+ themselves
-Be aware that this reflects the 'current development branch' and that the keywords do not have 'version_added' information.
