 Example 3, simple parametric macro:

+PC> macro move_down_by
+Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line

+```
 
 Invoke the macro to move the printhead down by 5 millimeters:
 
-    PC> move_down_by 5
-
+```python
+PC> move_down_by 5
+```
 
 For more powerful macro programming, it is possible to use python code escaping using ! symbol in front of macro commands.
 Note that this python code invocation also works in interactive prompt:
 
-    PC> !print "Hello, printer!"
-    Hello printer!
-
-    PC> macro debug_on !self.p.loud = 1
-    Macro 'debug_on' defined
-    PC> debug_on

-    RECV:  X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00E:0.00 Count X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00
-    RECV:  ok
+```python
+PC> !print "Hello, printer!"
+Hello printer!

+PC> macro debug_on !self.p.loud = 1
+Macro 'debug_on' defined
+PC> debug_on

 You can use macro command itself to create simple self-modify or toggle functionality:
 
 Example: swapping two macros to implement toggle:
 
-    PC> macro toggle_debug_on
-    Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
-    ..> !self.p.loud = 1
-    ..> !print "Diagnostic information ON"
-    ..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_off
-    ..>
-    Macro 'toggle_debug_on' defined
-    PC> macro toggle_debug_off
-    Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
-    ..> !self.p.loud = 0
-    ..> !print "Diagnostic information OFF"
-    ..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
-    ..>
-    Macro 'toggle_debug_off' defined
-    PC> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
-    Macro 'toggle_debug' defined
+```python
+PC> macro toggle_debug_on
+Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
+..> !self.p.loud = 1
+..> !print "Diagnostic information ON"
+..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_off
+..>
+Macro 'toggle_debug_on' defined
+PC> macro toggle_debug_off
+Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
+..> !self.p.loud = 0
+..> !print "Diagnostic information OFF"
+..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
+..>
+Macro 'toggle_debug_off' defined
+PC> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
+Macro 'toggle_debug' defined
+```
 
 Now, each time we invoke "toggle_debug" macro, it toggles debug information on and off:
 
-    PC> toggle_debug
-    Diagnostic information ON
-    
-    PC> toggle_debug
-    Diagnostic information OFF
+```python
+PC> toggle_debug
+Diagnostic information ON
+
+PC> toggle_debug
+Diagnostic information OFF
+```
 
 When python code (using ! symbol) is used in macros, it is even possible to use blocks/conditionals/loops.
 It is okay to mix python code with pronsole commands, just keep the python indentation.
 For example, following macro toggles the diagnostic information similarily to the previous example:
 
-    !if self.p.loud:
-      !self.p.loud = 0
-      !print "Diagnostic information OFF"
-    !else:
-      !self.p.loud = 1
-      !print "Diagnostic information ON"
+```python
+!if self.p.loud:
+  !self.p.loud = 0
+  !print "Diagnostic information OFF"
+!else:
+  !self.p.loud = 1
+  !print "Diagnostic information ON"
+```
