 Buffer compiler (protoc) execute the following:
 
-    $ ./configure
-    $ make
-    $ make check
-    $ sudo make install

 If "make check" fails, you can still install, but it is likely that
 some features of this library will not work correctly on your system.
 Proceed at your own risk.

 For a Mac system, Unix tools are not available by default. You will first need
 to install Xcode from the Mac AppStore and then run the following command from
 a terminal:
-
-    $ sudo xcode-select --install
-
+```shell
+    sudo xcode-select --install

 To install Unix tools, you can install "port" following the instructions at
 https://www.macports.org . This will reside in /opt/local/bin/port for most
 Mac installations.
-
-    $ sudo /opt/local/bin/port install autoconf automake libtool
-
+```shell
+    sudo /opt/local/bin/port install autoconf automake libtool
+```
 Then follow the Unix instructions above.
