 ## Getting Started
 
 Most commonly, you'll either want to see what typos are available with
-```bash
-typos
+```console
+$ typos
 ```
 
 Or have them fixed
-```bash
-typos --write-changes
-typos -w
+```console
+$ typos --write-changes
+$ typos -w
 ```
 If there is any ambiguity (multiple possible corrections), `typos` will just report it to the user and move on.

 Examples:
-```bash
-# Read file from stdin, write corrected version to stdout
-typos - --write-changes
-# Creates a diff of what would change
-typos dir/file --diff
-# Fully programmatic control
-typos dir/file --format json

 ### Debugging
 
 You can see what the effective config looks like by running
-```bash
-typos --dump-config -
+```console
+$ typos --dump-config -
 ```
 
 You can then see how typos is processing your project with
-```bash
-typos --files
-typos --identifiers
-typos --words
+```console
+$ typos --files
+$ typos --identifiers
+$ typos --words
 ```
 
 If you need to dig in more, you can enable debug logging with `-v`
