 ## Get the code

 ## Building

-the .ninja files to do the build. To create a build directory:

+configurations. To create a build directory:

   The default will be a debug component build matching the current host
   operating system and CPU.

 ### Faster builds
 
 Full rebuilds are about the same speed in Debug and Release, but linking is a
 lot faster in Release builds.

-    is_debug = false
+```
+is_debug = false
+```
 
-in your args.gn to do a release build.

-in your args.gn to build many small dylibs instead of a single large executable.
-This makes incremental builds much faster, at the cost of producing a binary

 Put

+```
+symbol_level = 0
+```
 
 in your args.gn to disable debug symbols altogether.  This makes both full
 rebuilds and linking faster (at the cost of not getting symbolized backtraces
 in gdb).
 
 You might also want to [install ccache](ccache_mac.md) to speed up the build.
 
 ## Run Chromium
 
 Once it is built, you can simply run the browser:
 
-    $ out/Default/chrome
+```shell
+$ out/Default/chrome
+```
 
 ## Running test targets
 
 You can run the tests in the same way. You can also limit which tests are
 run using the `--gtest_filter` arg, e.g.:
 
-    $ ninja -C out/Default unit_tests --gtest_filter="PushClientTest.*"
+```
+$ ninja -C out/Default unit_tests --gtest_filter="PushClientTest.*"
+```
 
 You can find out more about GoogleTest at its
 [GitHub page](https://github.com/google/googletest).
 
 ## Debugging
 
 Good debugging tips can be found
 [here](http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/debugging-on-os-x). If you
 would like to debug in a graphical environment, rather than using `lldb` at the
-command line, that is possible without building in Xcode. See

 ## Update your checkout
 
 To update an existing checkout, you can run
 
-    $ git rebase-update
-    $ gclient sync
+```shell
+$ git rebase-update
+$ gclient sync
+```
 
 The first command updates the primary Chromium source repository and rebases
-any of your local branches on top of tip-of-tree (aka the Git branch `origin/master`).
-If you don't want to use this script, you can also just use `git pull` or 
-other common Git commands to update the repo.

 ### Using Xcode-Ninja Hybrid

 You may run into a problem where http://YES is opened as a new tab every time
 you launch Chrome. To fix this, open the scheme editor for the Run scheme,
 choose the Options tab, and uncheck "Allow debugging when using document
 Versions Browser". When this option is checked, Xcode adds
-`--NSDocumentRevisionsDebugMode YES` to the launch arguments, and the `YES` gets
-interpreted as a URL to open.

 If you have problems building, join us in `#chromium` on `irc.freenode.net` and

-is open before checking out. This will increase your chances of success.

 ### Improving performance of `git status`
 
 `git status` is used frequently to determine the status of your checkout.  Due
-to the number of files in Chromium's checkout, `git status` performance can be
-quite variable.  Increasing the system's vnode cache appears to help.  By
+to the large number of files in Chromium's checkout, `git status` performance
+can be quite variable.  Increasing the system's vnode cache appears to help. By
 default, this command:
 
-    sysctl -a | egrep kern\..*vnodes
+```shell
+$ sysctl -a | egrep kern\..*vnodes
+```
 
 Outputs `kern.maxvnodes: 263168` (263168 is 257 * 1024).  To increase this
 setting:
 
-    sudo sysctl kern.maxvnodes=$((512*1024))
+```shell
+$ sudo sysctl kern.maxvnodes=$((512*1024))
+```
 
 Higher values may be appropriate if you routinely move between different
 Chromium checkouts.  This setting will reset on reboot, the startup setting can
 be set in `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
 
-    echo kern.maxvnodes=$((512*1024)) | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
+```shell
+$ echo kern.maxvnodes=$((512*1024)) | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
+```
 
 Or edit the file directly.
