 ### Rainbow
 Displays a simple moving rainbow pattern over a strip of fixed length.
 
-Make sure the '''F_CLK''' is set to the actual frequency present on the hardware for '''clk'''.
+Make sure the `F_CLK` is set to the actual frequency present on the hardware for `clk`.
 
-To set the length, change the '''LENGTH''' constant. To change the speed of the animation, change the '''F_SYSTICK''' constant. To change the length of one iteration of the rainbow, set the '''INCREMENT''' constant. To change the maximum brightness, change the '''PIXDATA_MAX''' constant while making sure that it is a multiple of '''INCREMENT'''.

 ### demo_sram
 Steps through some predefined colors by writing the to the controller's RAM and simply issuing a *render* strobe.
