 `crypt` has a command-line helper that you can use to put configurations
 in your K/V store. `crypt` defaults to etcd on http://127.0.0.1:4001.

 Confirm that your value was set:
 
-	crypt get -plaintext /config/hugo.json
+```bash

 See the `crypt` documentation for examples of how to set encrypted values, or how
 to use Consul.
