-Usage
------
+== Usage
 
 To upload something to the paste application, you can use `curl`:
 
-``` bash
+[source,bash]
 $ <command> | curl -i --data-urlencode paste@- localhost:8080
-```
 
 Or, to upload the file `my_file`:
 
-``` bash
+[source,bash]
 curl -i --data-urlencode paste@my_file localhost:8080
-```
 
 The URL of your data will be in the location header. Alternately, you can visit
 http://localhost:8080 with your favorite web browser and submit your paste via
 the form.
 
 Code that has been pasted can be highlighted with ?lang=<language> option if
-you have [highlight](http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html)
+you have http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html[highlight]
 installed (although `pygments` or any other should work just fine).
 
 This will show the contents of the HTML file:
 
-``` bash
+[source,bash]
 curl -i --data-urlencode paste@priv/index.html localhost:8080
 curl <url from location header>
-```
 
 If your terminal supports color sequences and `highlight` is installed,
 the following command will show the same contents but with HTML syntax
 highlighting.
 
-``` bash
+[source,bash]
 curl <url from location header>?lang=html
-```
 
 If you open the same URL in your web browser and your web browser tells
 Cowboy that it prefers HTML files, you will see the file highlighted
