 1. clone the git repository to your machine. Here I'll use 'f:/ml005ut':
 
-    git clone git@github.com:cod3monk3y/coursera-ml005-unittests.git f:/ml005ut
+    `git clone git@github.com:cod3monk3y/coursera-ml005-unittests.git f:/ml005ut`
 
 2. launch Octave and add the directory for the current assignment to your load path. For example, ex2 (Logistic Regression) would use:
 
-    >> addpath('f:/ml005ut/ex2/')
+    `>> addpath('f:/ml005ut/ex2/')`
 
 3. run the tests!
 
-    >> test test_ex2
-    PASSED 6 out of 6 tests
+    `>> test test_ex2`
+    
+    `PASSED 6 out of 6 tests`
