 ## Usage
 
 Example of parsing a string containing HTML:
 
-	package main
+```go
+package main
 
-	import (
-		"github.com/iand/microdata"
-		"net/url"
-		"strings"
-	)
+import (
+    "github.com/iand/microdata"
+    "net/url"
+    "strings"
+)
 
-	func main() {
-		html := `<div itemscope>
-		 <p>My name is <span itemprop="name">Elizabeth</span>.</p>
-		</div>`
+func main() {
+    html := `<div itemscope>
+        <p>My name is <span itemprop="name">Elizabeth</span>.</p>
+    </div>`
 
-		baseUrl, _ := url.Parse("http://example.com/")
-		p := microdata.NewParser(strings.NewReader(html), baseUrl)
+    baseUrl, _ := url.Parse("http://example.com/")
+    p := microdata.NewParser(strings.NewReader(html), baseUrl)
 
-		data, err := p.Parse()
-		if err != nil {
-			panic(err)
-		}
+    data, err := p.Parse()
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
 
-		println("Name: ", data.Items[0].Properties["name"][0].(string))
-	}
+    println("Name: ", data.Items[0].Properties["name"][0].(string))
+}
+```
 
 Extract microdata from a webpage and print the result as JSON
 
-	package main
+```go
+package main
 
-	import (
-	    "bytes"
-	    "io/ioutil"
-	    "net/http"
-	    "net/url"
-	    "os"

+    "bytes"
+    "io/ioutil"
+    "net/http"
+    "net/url"
+    "os"
 
-	    "github.com/iand/microdata"
-	)
+    "github.com/iand/microdata"

-	func main() {
+func main() {
 
-	    baseUrl, _ := url.Parse("http://www.designhive.com/blog/using-schemaorg-microdata")

-	    resp, _ := http.Get(baseUrl.String())

+    resp, _ := http.Get(baseUrl.String())
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
 
-	    html, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
+    html, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
 
-	    p := microdata.NewParser(bytes.NewReader(html), baseUrl)
+    p := microdata.NewParser(bytes.NewReader(html), baseUrl)
 
-	    data, _ := p.Parse()
-
-	    json, _ := data.JSON()
-	    os.Stdout.Write(json)
-	}
+    data, _ := p.Parse()
 
+    json, _ := data.JSON()
+    os.Stdout.Write(json)
+}
