 Installing the HelpStack library is fairly straight-forward. 
 
 1. Add jcenter as a repository to your app's build.gradle

-        repositories {
-          jcenter()
-        }
-        
+```groovy
+repositories {
+  jcenter()

 2. Add *com.tenmiles:helpstack:1.2.0* as a dependency in the same build.gradle
-        
-        dependencies {
-          compile 'com.tenmiles:helpstack:1.2.0'

 #### Step 1 - Configure HelpStack with the Gear of your choice:
 
 Create a custom *Application* class which extends the **Application** class. Be sure to mention it in your manifest as well.
-
-    <application
-      android:name="HSApplication"
-      ...
-    />    
-    
+```xml
+<application
+  android:name="HSApplication"
+  ...
+/>    
+```
 Obtain the necessary credentials for the gear of your choice and create a suitable Gear object. Set the Gear object with *HSHelpStack* instance only once. 
 
 ##### Setting the Gear
 
 The general structure of setting a gear is given below: 
-
-    public class HSApplication extends Application {
-      HSHelpStack helpStack;
-      
-      @Override
-      public void onCreate() {
-        super.onCreate();
-        
-        helpStack = HSHelpStack.getInstance(this); // Get the HSHelpStack instance
-        
-        <GearType> <gear> = new <GearType>(<Gear credentials as parameters>); // Create the Gear object 
-          
-        helpStack.setGear(<gear>); // Set the Gear
-      }
-    }
+```java
+public class HSApplication extends Application {
+  HSHelpStack helpStack;
+  
+  @Override
+  public void onCreate() {
+    super.onCreate();
