 ## Development
 
 The test suite depends on [stripe-mock], so make sure to fetch and run it from a
 background terminal ([stripe-mock's README][stripe-mock] also contains
 instructions for installing via Homebrew and other methods):
 
-    go get -u github.com/stripe/stripe-mock
-    stripe-mock
+```sh
+go get -u github.com/stripe/stripe-mock
+stripe-mock
+```
 
 Run all tests:
 
-    bundle exec rake test
+```sh
+bundle exec rake test
+```
 
 Run a single test suite:
 
-    bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/stripe/util_test.rb
+```sh
+bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/stripe/util_test.rb
+```
 
 Run a single test:
 
-    bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/stripe/util_test.rb -n /should.convert.names.to.symbols/
+```sh
+bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/stripe/util_test.rb -n /should.convert.names.to.symbols/
+```
 
 Run the linter:
 
-    bundle exec rake rubocop
+```sh
+bundle exec rake rubocop
+```
 
 Update bundled CA certificates from the [Mozilla cURL release][curl]:
 
-    bundle exec rake update_certs
+```sh
+bundle exec rake update_certs
+```
 
 Update the bundled [stripe-mock] by editing the version number found in
 `.travis.yml`.
