In one case a pair of '`'s was missing and those were added there so that both are now code blocks. If it is not an error to have the '\' before the '$' then the code block added should still be there but I believe it was a mistake anyway. --- 2020/carlini/README.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/2020/carlini/README.md b/2020/carlini/README.md index fdbe701e8..4e20219c0 100644 --- a/2020/carlini/README.md +++ b/2020/carlini/README.md @@ -242,9 +242,9 @@ the following expression where argument 1 is a pointer to a temporary variable followed by a NUL byte.

In order to decide what to print out, we have to cast the “in-memory” array of bits to Xs and Os to print out. This is actually rather
