    the browser using  `headless: false`:

 2. Slow it down - the `slowMo` option slows down Puppeteer operations by the
    specified amount of milliseconds. It's another way to help see what's going on.
 
-        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
-          headless: false,
-          slowMo: 250 // slow down by 250ms
-        });

+    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
+      headless: false,
+      slowMo: 250 // slow down by 250ms
+    });
+    ```
 
 3. Capture console output - You can listen for the `console` event.
    This is also handy when debugging code in `page.evaluate()`:
 
-        page.on('console', msg => console.log('PAGE LOG:', msg.text()));
+    ```js
+    page.on('console', msg => console.log('PAGE LOG:', msg.text()));

     you want to try something out, you have to add it to your test file.
 
     - Add `debugger;` to your test, eg:
-      ```

     - Set `headless` to `false`
     - Run `node --inspect-brk`, eg `node --inspect-brk node_modules/.bin/jest tests`
     - In Chrome open `chrome://inspect/#devices` and click `inspect`
