make the asciidoc work; make the example more generic; tighten the
prose a little; be more specific that *.example.com matches

When a request for address arrives to Tor, it will rewrite it to newaddress
When a request for address arrives to Tor, it will transform to newaddress
before processing it. For example, if you always want connections to
www.indymedia.org to exit via __torserver__ (where __torserver__ is the
nickname of the server), use MapAddress www.indymedia.org
www.indymedia.org.torserver.exit. If the value is prepended with a
'*.', it is treated as matching an entire domain. For example, if you
always want connections to any sub-domain of indymedia.org to exit via
www.example.com to exit via __torserver__ (where __torserver__ is the
nickname of the server), use "MapAddress www.example.com
www.example.com.torserver.exit". If the value is prefixed with a
"\*.", matches an entire domain. For example, if you
always want connections to example.com and any if its subdomains
to exit via
__torserver__ (where __torserver__ is the nickname of the server), use
MapAddress *.indymedia.org *.indymedia.org.torserver.exit. (Note the
leading '*.' in each part of the directive.) You can also redirect all
subdomains of a domain to a single address. For example, MapAddress
*.indymedia.org www.indymedia.org. +

leading "*." in each part of the directive.) You can also redirect all
