 ## Keyboard
 
-Another way to add as much clarity to your documents as possible is to represent the entering of keys on a keyboard in the correct manner. Do this with `<kbd>key</kbd>`. For instance, to represent that you need to hit the escape key in your document you would use `<kbd>ESC</kbd`. When you need to indicate the pressing of multiple keys, add a `+` between them like this: `<kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>F4</kbd>`. If requiring the pressing of keys simultaneously, add "simultaneously" or "at the same time" or some similar phrase to your instructions. Here is an example of a keyboard instruction in your editor:
+Another way to add as much clarity to your documents as possible is to represent the entering of keys on a keyboard in the correct manner. In markdown, do this by surrounding the key or keys with double plus signs (`++`) Do this with `++key++`. For instance, to represent that you need to hit the escape key in your document you would use `++escape++`. When you need to indicate the pressing of multiple keys, add a `+` between them like this: `++ctrl+f4++`. For keys that aren't defined (for instance we are indicating a mystery function key, `Fx` below) put your definition in quotes (`++ctrl+"Fx"++`). If requiring the pressing of keys simultaneously, add "simultaneously" or "at the same time" or some similar phrase to your instructions.
