 ## Disable Wifi MAC generation
 
 Since Android is generating a new mac address for your wifi interface at every reboot and Connman is storing the mac address in its services you would need to enter your wifi passwords every time you reboot.

 ## WiFi eats battery whilst sleeping
 
 You need to install connman-plugin-suspend-wmtwifi to avoid this:
-
+```
 	sudo apt install connman-plugin-suspend-wmtwifi

 Turns out this plugin just stops the repeated re-connection's to wifi. It still eats lots of battery.
 
 ## Libreoffice
 
 Due to some peculiarity in the system image creation by multistrap our libreoffice installs get their diverts muddled, if you get an issue on upgrading with it complaining about libreoffice do the following:
-
+```
     cd /var/cache/apt/archives
     sudo dpkg --force-all -i libreoffice*.deb
-
+```
 This basically forces a reinstall of all the libreoffice debian packages.

 ## Non-latin characters and meta mepped keys
 
 For keyboard that have both Latin and native characters you pick your language variant, eg for Gemini Russia (Cyrillic):
-
+```
     setxkbmap -model planetgemini -layout ru
-
+```
 But there is a bug in symbols mapping, so you need to fix it manually (but maybe fix already in the image):
-
+```
     sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini
-
+```
 Replace word `backslash` to `slash` in lines 377 and 388 with: 
 ```
     -    key <AC09> { symbols[Group1] = [     Cyrillic_de,      Cyrillic_DE,      backslash,         Lstroke ] };
