 Now use `cmake` to build moose
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+.. codeblock:: bash
     $ cd /to/moose/source/code
     $ mkdir _build
     $ cd _build 
     $ cmake  ..
     $ make 
-    $ ctest --output-on-failure
+    $ ctest --output-on-failure  # optional
 
 This will build pyMOOSE (MOOSE's python extention), `ctest` will run few tests to
 check if build process was successful.
