24     Using **git commit** after adding your files saves a "Snapshot" of them, so it's very hard

31 This paragraph describes how to do **Console Commands**. When showing VPP commands it is recommended
32 that the command be executed from the linux console as shown. The Highlighting in the final documents
33 shows up nicely this way.

54 The **code-block** construct is also used for code samples. The following shows how to include a block of
55 "C" code.
