 * Access protocol has been added for tuples, lists, strings, and whatnot. It allows us to easily access elements of a collection. We can also use a regex to find the first match in a string or a list. Examples follow: 
 
-      dict = [a: 1, b: 2, c: 3]
-      dict[:a]   #=> 1
-      dict[:d]   #=> nil
-      tuple = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
-      tuple[1]   #=> 5
-      tuple[0]   #=> nil
-      tuple[-1]  #=> 1
-      defrecord TestRec, red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
-      r = TestRec[red: 255, blue: 80]  #=> new record
-      s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
-      s[%r/[a-z]+o[a-z]+/]  #=> "brown"
+```elixir
+dict = [a: 1, b: 2, c: 3]
+dict[:a]   #=> 1
+dict[:d]   #=> nil
+
+tuple = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
+tuple[1]   #=> 5
+tuple[0]   #=> nil
+tuple[-1]  #=> 1
+
+defrecord TestRec, red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
+r = TestRec[red: 255, blue: 80]  #=> new record
+s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
+s[%r/[a-z]+o[a-z]+/]  #=> "brown"
+```
 
 * Access protocol also makes it possible to pattern-match records:
 
-      defrecord TestRec, red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
-      r = TestRec[red: 255, blue: 80]  #=> new record
-      case r do
-      match: TestRec[red: 0]
-        :no_match
-      match: TestRec[red: red, blue: 80]
-        :ok
-      end
-      #=> :ok
-      red === 255  #=> true
+```elixir
+defrecord TestRec, red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
+r = TestRec[red: 255, blue: 80]  #=> new record
+case r do
+match: TestRec[red: 0]
+  :no_match
+match: TestRec[red: red, blue: 80]
+  :ok
+end
+#=> :ok
+red === 255  #=> true
+```
 
 * The `Orddict` module is no longer with us, it has been renamed to `Keyword`. The new module only allows atoms to be used as keys. A general purpose module for dicts will be added sooner or later.

 * The `Regex` module has received new functions, namely, `source` and `opts`. It can also be `inspect`ed now.
 
-      reg = %r/[a-z]+o[a-z]+/im
-      Regex.source reg  #=> "[a-z]+o[a-z]+"
-      Regex.opts reg    #=> "im"

+Regex.opts reg    #=> "im"
+inspect reg       #=> "%r\"[a-z]+o[a-z]+\"im"
+```
 
 * A new `read_info` function has been added to the [`File` module](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/35b22c598defd8be07d46d2e7e8fc0ddf9ec4e80/lib/file.ex) allowing 
 users to query for file attributes.

 * The [System module](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/lib/system.ex) has been merged into master. It provides functions for communicating with OS environment, running external commands, getting the stacktrace, etc.

-      System.get_env "PAGER"

 * In other news, we're getting closer to having a dedicated site for documentation, JSON parsing/serialization is currently in the works, and there's also work being done on bringing dicts back into Elixir.
