 You can install the latest release using Julia package manager:
 
 ```julia
-using Pkg
-Pkg.add("Weave")
+julia> using Pkg
+julia> Pkg.add("Weave")
 ```

 ```julia
-using Weave
+julia> using Weave
 
-# add depencies for the example
-using Pkg; Pkg.add(["Plots", "DSP"])
+# add dependencies for the example
+julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add(["Plots", "DSP"])
 
-filename = normpath(Weave.EXAMPLE_FOLDER, "FIR_design.jmd")
-weave(filename, out_path = :pwd)
+julia> filename = normpath(Weave.EXAMPLE_FOLDER, "FIR_design.jmd")
+julia> weave(filename, out_path = :pwd)
 ```
 
 If you have LaTeX installed you can also weave directly to pdf.
 
 ```julia
-filename = normpath(Weave.EXAMPLE_FOLDER, "FIR_design.jmd")
-weave(filename, out_path = :pwd, doctype = "md2pdf")
+julia> filename = normpath(Weave.EXAMPLE_FOLDER, "FIR_design.jmd")
