     this unit type. See
     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
     for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common
-    configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
-    [Install] sections. The automount specific configuration options
-    are configured in the [Automount] section.</para>
+    configuration items are configured in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
+    <literal>[Install]</literal> sections. The automount specific configuration options
+    are configured in the <literal>[Automount]</literal> section.</para>
 
     <para>Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control. Example: the automount point
-    <filename noindex='true'>/home/lennart</filename> must be configured in a unit file
+    <filename index="false">/home/lennart</filename> must be configured in a unit file
     <filename>home-lennart.automount</filename>. For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system
     path to a unit name see
     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Note that
 
     <para>Automount units may be used to implement on-demand mounting
     as well as parallelized mounting of file systems.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that automount units are separate from the mount itself, so you
+    should not set <varname>After=</varname> or <varname>Requires=</varname>
+    for mount dependencies here. For example, you should not set
+    <varname>After=network-online.target</varname> or similar on network
+    filesystems. Doing so may result in an ordering cycle.</para>
