 jQuery - New Wave Javascript
 http://jquery.com/
---------------------------------
-
-What you need to build your own jQuery:
- - Make sure that you have Java installed (if you want to build a minified version of jQuery).
-
-   If not, go to this page and download "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0"
-   http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
+================================
 
- - You now have two options for building jQuery, if you have access to
-   common UNIX commands (like 'make', 'mkdir', 'rm', 'cat', and 'echo')
-   then simply type 'make' to build all the components.

-   If you do have Ant, everytime (in this README) that I say 'make', do
-   'ant' instead - it works identically (for all intents and purposes).

 In the main directory of the distribution (the one that this file is in), type
 the following to make all versions of jQuery:
-  make
+
+`make`
 
 Here are each of the individual items that are buildable from the Makefile.
 
-make init
-	Pull in all the external dependencies (QUnit, Sizzle) for the project.

+`make jquery`
 
-make jquery
-  The standard, uncompressed, jQuery code.
-  Makes: ./dist/jquery.js

-make min
-  A compressed version of jQuery (made the YUI Minifier).
-  Makes: ./dist/jquery.min.js
+`make min`
 
-make selector
-	Builds the selector library for jQuery from Sizzle.
-	Makes: ./src/selector.js

 Finally, you can remove all the built files using the command:
-  make clean
+  
+`make clean`
 
 Additionally, if you want to install jQuery to a location that is not this
 directory, you can specify the PREFIX directory, for example:
-  make PREFIX=/home/john/test/
+  
+`make PREFIX=/home/john/test/`
+
 OR
-  make PREFIX=~/www/ docs
+
+`make PREFIX=~/www/ docs`
