 FAQs
 ----
 Why are you developing this?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+----------------------------
 During my coursework in communication theory and systems at UCSD, I realized that the best way to actually learn and understand the theory is to try and implement ''the Math'' in practice :). Having used Scipy before, I thought there should be a similar package for Digital Communications in Python. This is a start!
 
 What programming languages do you use?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+--------------------------------------
 CommPy uses Python as its base programming language and python packages like NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib.
 
 How can I contribute?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+---------------------
 Implement any feature you want and send me a pull request :). If you want to suggest new features or discuss anything related to CommPy, please get in touch with me (veeresht@gmail.com).
