 Remember the talk about "deferred computation" in the intro? That's all it is. Instead of telling the computer what to execute and decide upon *now*, you tell it what to start doing and how to react on potential events the... well... `Future`.

 Ignore `Pin` and `Context` for now, you don't need them for high-level understanding. Looking at it closely, we see the following: it is generic over the `Output`. It provides a function called `poll`, which allows us to check on the state of the current computation.
 Every call to `poll()` can result in one of these two cases:
 
-1. The future is done, `poll` will return `[Poll::Ready](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/enum.Poll.html#variant.Ready)`
+1. The future is done, `poll` will return [`Poll::Ready`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/enum.Poll.html#variant.Ready)
-2. The future has not finished executing, it will return `[Poll::Pending](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/enum.Poll.html#variant.Pending)`
+2. The future has not finished executing, it will return [`Poll::Pending`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/enum.Poll.html#variant.Pending)
 
 This allows us to externally check if a `Future` has finished doing its work, or is finally done and can give us the value. The most simple way (but not efficient) would be to just constantly poll futures in a loop. There's optimistions here, and this is what a good runtime is does for you.
 Note that calling `poll` after case 1 happened may result in confusing behaviour. See the [futures-docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/future/trait.Future.html) for details.
