--- Interface settings
+## Interface settings
 
 The recommended place to store global interface settings is the ini style global config system 
 (see system.ini.master file in install/tpl/ to set defaults). The settings file 
 gets stored inside the ispconfig database. Settings can be accessed with the function:
 
+```
 $app->uses('ini_parser,getconf');
 $interface_settings = $app->getconf->get_global_config('modulename');
+```
 
 where modulename corresponds to the config section in the system.ini.master file.
 To make the settings editable under System > interface config, add the new configuration
 fields to the file interface/web/admin/form/system_config.tform.php and the corresponding
 tempalte file in the templates subfolder of the admin module.
