 ## C++ compilation
 
-To *build* a C++ program means to compile source code from one or more files and then link those files into an executable file (.exe), a dynamic-link library (.dll) or a static library (.lib).
+To *build* a C++ program means to compile source code from one or more files and then link those files into an executable file (`.exe`), a dynamic-link library (`.dll`) or a static library (`.lib`).
 
 Basic C++ compilation involves three main steps:
 
 - The C++ preprocessor transforms all the #directives and macro definitions in each source file. This creates a *translation unit*.
-- The C++ compiler compiles each translation unit into object files (.obj), applying whatever compiler options have been set.
+- The C++ compiler compiles each translation unit into object files (`.obj`), applying whatever compiler options have been set.
 - The *linker* merges the object files into a single executable, applying the linker options that have been set.
 
 ## The MSVC toolset
 
 The Microsoft C++ compiler, linker, standard libraries, and related utilities make up the MSVC compiler toolset (also called a toolchain or "build tools"). These are included in Visual Studio. You can also download and use the command-line toolset as a free standalone package. For more information, see [Build Tools for Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022) on the Visual Studio Downloads page.
