 Resetting unreachable hosts
 ===========================
 
-If Ansible cannot connect to a host, it marks that host as 'UNREACHABLE' and removes it from the list of active hosts for the run. You can use `meta: clear_host_errors` to reactivate all hosts, so subsequent tasks can try to reach them again.

 Defining failure
 ================
 
-Ansible lets you define what "failure" means in each task using the ``failed_when`` conditional. As with all conditionals in Ansible, lists of multiple ``failed_when`` conditions are joined with an implicit ``and``, meaning the task only fails when *all* conditions are met. If you want to trigger a failure when any of the conditions is met, you must define the conditions in a string with an explicit ``or`` operator.

 You may check for failure by searching for a word or phrase in the output of a command
