-##Simple POSIX Semaphore for Windows
-POSIX semaphores allow processes and threads to synchronize their actions. A semaphore is an integer whose value is never allowed to fall below zero.  Two operations can be performed on semaphores: increment the semaphore value by one (**sem_post**); and decrement the semaphore value by one (**sem_wait**). If the value of a semaphore is currently zero, then a **sem_wait** operation will block until the value becomes greater than zero.
+## Simple POSIX Semaphore for Windows
+POSIX semaphores allow processes and threads to synchronize their actions. A semaphore is an integer whose value is never allowed to fall below zero.  Two operations can be performed on semaphores: increment the semaphore value by one [**sem_post**]; and decrement the semaphore value by one [**sem_wait**]. If the value of a semaphore is currently zero, then a **sem_wait** operation will block until the value becomes greater than zero.
 
-The *semaphore.c* & *semaphore.h* files provide replacement for POSIX semaphores on Windows XP or later. The provided **sem_** functions do not behave identically to their unix equivalents, but they will work as drop-in replacements for most use cases.
