 #### Task
 * A Task in its most simple form is a function that is executed when the task runs.
-* It can have a preTaska and an afterTask (those are run before or after the main function whenever the task is called)
-* A Task can be buffered. That means it can be called multiple times in a very short time. However execution happens in line: meaning execution of the task's main function is on halt until the previous task call has finished.
-* Task.trigger() and Task.triggerBuffered() always return a Promise;
-* Task.triggered() is an ObservableStram that emits events every time a task is promised.
+* A Task can have a **preTask** and an **afterTask**
+  (those are run before or after the main function whenever the task is called)
+* A Task can be buffered.
+  That means it can be called multiple times in a very short time.
+  However execution happens in line:
+  meaning execution of the task's main function is on halt until the previous task call has finished.
+  You can set bufferMax number, which is the max number of buffered task calls.
+  Any additional calls will then be truncated
+* Task.trigger() and Task.triggerBuffered() always return a Promise
+  which is fullfilled once the related task call has completed.
+* Task.triggered() is an Observable stream that emits events every time a task call is called and every time a call is completed.
 * Task is compatible to gulp streams.
