So, the [[[first/topic]]] are meant to be replaced with the actual topic.
So it would be something like this
```
[[Topics]]
[[[topic name that snowDepth is published on]]]
[[[[topic name that snowDepth is published on]]]]
name = snowDepth
[[[topic name that snowRate is published on]]]
[[[[topic name that snowRate is published on]]]]
name = snowRate
```
The duplication is an artifact of dealing with json and keyword payloads.
The ```use_topic_as_fieldname``` option can be used to make the config a
bit prettier.
```
[[Topics]]
use_topic_as_fieldname = true
[[[topic name that snowDepth is published on]]]
name = snowDepth
[[[topic name that snowRate is published on]]]
name = snowRate
```
Note, if snowDepth is actually published on the topic snowDepth, the
```name``` option can be left off.
I don’t think that you want to set contains_total=true for snowDepth. This
is used when the field contains a total and it needs to be converted into
an increment for WeeWX.
I’ll work on clarifying the wiki.
With that said, it shouldn’t have broken WeeWX. If you are up for it,
before changing the config, setting debug=1, restarting WeeWX for a couple
of archive intervals and attaching the log would be appreciated .
