docs match that style.

# bind
*bind* overrides the host to which the server should bind. Normally, the listener binds to the
wildcard host. However, you may force the listener to bind to another IP instead. This
directive accepts only an address, not a port.
## Syntax
~~~ txt
bind ADDRESS
~~~
**ADDRESS** is the IP address to bind to.
## Examples
To make your socket accessible only to that machine, bind to IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
~~~ txt
bind 127.0.0.1
