 # The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a library used to write
 # high-performance distributed-memory parallel applications, and is
 # typically deployed on a cluster.  MPI is a standard interface (defined

 # Variables
 # ^^^^^^^^^
 #
 # This module will set the following variables per language in your
-# project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:
-#
-# ::
-#
-#    MPI_<lang>_FOUND           TRUE if FindMPI found MPI flags for <lang>
-#    MPI_<lang>_COMPILER        MPI Compiler wrapper for <lang>
-#    MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS   Compilation flags for MPI programs
-#    MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH    Include path(s) for MPI header
-#    MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS      Linking flags for MPI programs
-#    MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES       All libraries to link MPI programs against
+# project, where ``<lang>`` is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:

+# ``MPI_<lang>_FOUND``
+#   Variable indicating the MPI settings for ``<lang>`` were found.
+# ``MPI_<lang>_COMPILER``
+#   MPI Compiler wrapper for ``<lang>``.
+# ``MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS``
+#   Compilation flags for MPI programs, separated by spaces.
+#   This is *not* a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>`.
+# ``MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH``
+#   Include path(s) for MPI header.
+# ``MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS``
+#   Linker flags for MPI programs.
+# ``MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES``
+#   All libraries to link MPI programs against.
 #
 # Additionally, the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` targets are defined:
 #
-# ::
-#
-#    MPI::MPI_<lang>            Target for using MPI from <lang>
+# ``MPI::MPI_<lang>``
+#   Target for using MPI from ``<lang>``.
 #
 # Additionally, FindMPI sets the following variables for running MPI
 # programs from the command line:
 #
-# ::
-#
-#    MPIEXEC                    Executable for running MPI programs
-#    MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG       Flag to pass to MPIEXEC before giving
-#                               it the number of processors to run on
-#    MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS           Flags to pass to MPIEXEC directly
-#                               before the executable to run.
-#    MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS          Flags to pass to MPIEXEC after other flags
+# ``MPIEXEC``
+#   Executable for running MPI programs, if provided.
+# ``MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG``
+#   Flag to pass to ``MPIEXEC`` before giving it the number of processors to run on.
+# ``MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS``
+#   Number of MPI processors to utilize. Defaults to the number
+#   of processors detected on the host system.
+# ``MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS``
+#   Flags to pass to ``MPIEXEC`` directly before the executable to run.
+# ``MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS``
+#   Flags to pass to ``MPIEXEC`` after other flags.

-#    2. If this fails, or if your MPI implementation does not come with
-#       a compiler wrapper, then set both MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES and
-#       MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH.  You may also set any other variables
