 4. Begin by running the tests. We only take pull requests with passing tests,
    and it's great to know that you have a clean slate:
 
-        $ bundle exec rake spec
+   ```sh
+   bundle exec rake spec
+   ```
 
    The test suite runs by default with SQLite3. To run the test suite with PostgreSQL or MySQL, use:
 
-        $ DB=pg bundle exec rake spec (`DB=postgres` & `DB=postgresql` work too)
-        $ DB=mysql bundle exec rake spec
+   ```sh
+   DB=pg bundle exec rake spec
+   DB=mysql bundle exec rake spec
+   ```
+   
+   A one-liner to run all three
+   
+   ```sh
+   bundle exec rake spec && DB=pg bundle exec rake spec && DB=mysql bundle exec rake spec
+   ```
 
    For Postgres and MySQL, databases are expected to exist, called 'ransack'. To create use these commands (assuming OS X and Homebrew):
 
    ### Postgres
-       $ createdb ransack 
+   
+   ```sh
+   createdb ransack 
+   ```
 
    ### MySQL
-       $ mysql -u root
-       mysql> create database ransack;     
+   
+   ```sh
+   mysql -u root
+   mysql> create database ransack; 
+   ```
 
    The test suite runs by default
 
    To run only the tests in a particular file: `bundle exec rspec <path/to/filename>`
 
-        $ bundle exec rspec spec/ransack/search_spec.rb
+   ```sh
+   bundle exec rspec spec/ransack/search_spec.rb
+   ```
 
    To run a single test in that file: `bundle exec rspec <path/to/filename> -e "test name"`
 
-        $ bundle exec rspec spec/ransack/search_spec.rb -e "accepts a context option"
+   ```sh
+   bundle exec rspec spec/ransack/search_spec.rb -e "accepts a context option"
+   ```
 
 5. Hack away! Please use Ruby features that are compatible down to Ruby 2.3.
    Since version 2.3.1, Ransack no longer maintains Ruby 2.2 compatibility.

 9. Make sure git knows your name and email address in your `~/.gitconfig` file:
