 To build and run:
-`cd common-post-process ; make ; cp common-post-process ../common ; cd ..`
-`cd common ; make ; cd ..`
-`cd emulator ; make ; ./emulator < ../common/system.obj`
+
+    cd common-post-process ; make ; cp common-post-process ../common ; cd ..
+    cd common ; make ; cd ..
+    cd emulator ; make ; ./emulator < ../common/system.obj
 
 The makefiles use `re2c`, `flex`, `bison`, `gcc`, `cpp`, and `xa`.
