 ## Usage
 Establishing a basic **[client](https://captchanjack.github.io/Jedis.jl/client/)** connection:
-```
+```julia
 client = Client(host="localhost", port=6379)
 ```
 
 Establishing a **[secured client](https://captchanjack.github.io/Jedis.jl/client/#Jedis.get_ssl_config/)** (SSL/TLS) connection:
-```
+```julia
 ssl_config = get_ssl_config(ssl_certfile="redis.crt", ssl_keyfile="redis.key", ssl_ca_certs="ca.crt")
 client = Client(ssl_config=ssl_config)
 ```
 
 Setting and getting the global client:
-```
+```julia
 set_global_client(client)
 get_global_client()
 ```
 
 Executing **[commands](https://captchanjack.github.io/Jedis.jl/commands/)**:
-```
+```julia
 set("key", "value"; client=client)
 get("key")  # uses global client by default
 execute(["DEL", "key"], client)  # custom commands
 ```
