 Library which does polling to consume messages from a message queue via an http proxy. Supports group and topic semantics.
 
-Configuration
+## Configuration
+
 ```
 topicName - name of the topic from which to consume messages
 groupName - consumer group
 queueProxyHost - location of the http proxy(eg "http://localhost:8082")
 queue - used for dynamic routing. This values will be passed on as an http Host header on all the requests
 backoffPeriod - period in milliseconds for which the app will sleep before trying to consume messages 
-	      - backoff is applied when queue is empty(last consume request returned no messages) or exception occurred when trying to connect to the proxy
+        - backoff is applied when queue is empty(last consume request returned no messages) or exception occurred when trying to connect to the proxy
 autoCommit - boolean flag which configures autoCommit when consuming messages. If true offsets are committed if the consume request to the proxy returns 200.
            - if false offsets are manually committed after the batch of messages are processed
            - because of the proxy limitations the recommendations are to use autocommit true for topics with small messages
@@ -20,14 +21,11 @@ offsetReset - possible values are "smallest" and "largest"
             - using smallest will impact the memory usage of the proxy
 streamCount - number of threads to use for processing messages
             - each thread will create a new proxy consumer instance which will be assigned to different kafka partition(s)
