+In this quick tutorial, you will use the [CrateDB Toolkit InfluxDB I/O subsystem]
+to import data from [InfluxDB] into [CrateDB]. You can also import data directly
+from files in InfluxDB line protocol format.
 
 ## Synopsis

+### InfluxDB Server
 Transfer data from InfluxDB bucket/measurement into CrateDB schema/table.
-:::{code} shell
+```shell
 ctk load table \
   "influxdb2://example:token@influxdb.example.org:8086/testdrive/demo" \
   --cratedb-sqlalchemy-url="crate://user:password@cratedb.example.org:4200/testdrive/demo"
-:::
+```
+Query data in CrateDB.
+```shell
+export CRATEPW=password
+crash --host=cratedb.example.org --username=user --command='SELECT * FROM testdrive.demo;'
+```
 
+### InfluxDB Line Protocol
+Transfer data from InfluxDB line protocol file into CrateDB schema/table.
+```shell
+ctk load table \
+  "https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb2-sample-data/raw/master/air-sensor-data/air-sensor-data.lp" \
