         $ mkdir -p ~mailman/.config/containers/systemd
 1. Then copy the files from the *mailman/* subdirectory in this repository into the quadlet directory:
-```bash $ cp mailman/* ~mailman/.config/containers/systemd/```
+
+        $ cp mailman/* ~mailman/.config/containers/systemd/
  1. Now we have to generate some secrets which the various components use to talk to each other:
-        ``` $ pwgen -1 32 | | podman secret create HYPERKITTY_API_KEY       -
+        $ pwgen -1 32 | | podman secret create HYPERKITTY_API_KEY       -
         $ pwgen -1 32 | podman secret create MAILMAN_REST_PASSWORD    -
-        $ pwgen -1 32 | podman secret create MAILMAN_WEB_SECRET_KEY   - ```
+        $ pwgen -1 32 | podman secret create MAILMAN_WEB_SECRET_KEY   -
 1. Next adapt the environment variable definitions in mailman-core.container and mailman-web.container to your needs. You may want to customize at least the variable *SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN*, which is set to lists.example.com by default.
 1. Finally run ```$ systemctl --user daemon-reload``` to trigger the systemd unit generator and start the services:
-```$ systemctl --user start mailman-core mailman-web```
+        $ systemctl --user start mailman-core mailman-web
 1. By default Systemd launches user services only when the user logs in. To create a user session when the system boots, enable the automatic user session creation on boot with the following command as root:
-```# systemctl enable-linger mailman```
