+### Syntax notes
+
+When I write shell commands in code blocks, anything that should be run unprivileged is prefaced with `$`, and anything
+that should be run with root privileges is prefaced with `#`. e.g.
+
+    $ vim _index.md
+
+means to run `vim _index.md` as an unprivileged user.
+
+    # rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
+
+means to run `rm -rf --no-preserve-root /` as the root user, e.g. with `doas rm -rf --no-preserve-root /`.
