 Pending deprecation of layout methods
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The methods `~Figure.set_tight_layout`, `~Figure.set_constrained_layout`,
+The methods `~.Figure.set_tight_layout`, `~.Figure.set_constrained_layout`,
 are discouraged, and now emit a ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` in favor of
 explicitly referencing the layout engine via
-`figure.set_layout_engine('tight')` and
-`figure.set_layout_engine('constrained')`.  End users should not see the
+``figure.set_layout_engine('tight')`` and
+``figure.set_layout_engine('constrained')``.  End users should not see the
 warning, but library authors should adjust.
 
-The methods `~Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads` and
-`~Figure.get_constrained_layout_pads` are will be deprecated in favor of
+The methods `~.Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads` and

 ``figure.get_layout_engine().set()`` and
