 2. Similar to example 1, shown below are two equality matchers combined in a short form YAML list.
 
 ```yaml
-matchers: [ "foo = bar", "dings != bums" ]
+matchers: [ foo = bar, dings != bums ]
 ```
 
 As shown below, in the short-form, it's generally better to quote the list elements to avoid problems with special characters like commas:
 
 ```yaml
-matchers: [ '{foo="bar",dings!="bums"}' ]
+matchers: [ "foo = bar,baz", "dings != bums" ]
 ```
 
 3. You can also put both matchers into one PromQL-like string. Single quotes for the whole string work best here.
 
 ```yaml
-matchers: ['{env=~"produ.*"}', '{baz!~".*quux"}']
+matchers: [ '{foo="bar",dings!="bums"}' ]
 ```
 
 4. To avoid any confusion about YAML string quoting and escaping, you can use YAML block quoting and then only worry about the OpenMetrics escaping inside the block. A complex example with a regular expression and different quotes inside the label value is shown below:
