+Aternatively you can install all dependencies on your own system manually.
 You'll need recent versions of Linux or MacOS, Python3, and possibly a C++ compiler.
 Start by cloning this repository and then open a shell:
 
-#+begin_src bash
+```bash
 python3 -m venv venv
 source venv/bin/activate
 pip3 install arbor numpy seaborn matplotlib networkx jupyter
 jupyter lab
-#+end_src
+```
 
 While your packages are being installed, you can take a look at the introduction
-in ~intro.pdf~. Then, open the ~arbor-tutorial.ipynb~ notebook; everything else
+in <intro.pdf>. Then, open the <arbor-tutorial.ipynb> notebook; everything else
 should follow from there.
