 ## Locale
 
 If you have set a specific locale (e.g. en_AU.UTF-8) then you will probably get warnings all over the place (e.g. from `man`, `locale` itself, from `perl` during an install). The solution appears to be
-
 `sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales`
-
 then page down to your chosen locale, press the space bar to select it - `[ ]` will change to `[*]`, then Tab to move to Ok then Enter.
-
 That will then take an eternity generating all the selected locales and eventually doing the one that you just selected.
 
 ## Network Config
-
 Network Manager stores the configuration in `/etc/NetworkManager`. Specifically, information that is per-connection is stored in the `system-connections` subdirectory in files called `xyz.nmconnection` where xyz is the connection name.
-
 The proper way to 'get' and 'set' per-connection settings, if wanting to do from the command line, is via the `nmcli` command.
-
 e.g.
-
 `nmcli conn show`
-
 `nmcli conn show uuid | grep whatever`
-
 where uuid is as listed by the first command.
-
 A specific field can be retrieved with `nmcli -g fieldname conn show uuid`
-
 A field can be changed with `nmcli conn modify uuid fieldname fieldvalue`
 
 ## Modem Manager
-
 To get modem information:
-
-Firstly,
-
-`mmcli -L`
-
+Firstly, `mmcli -L`
 to list the modems. For example, gives: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/**1**
-
 So the modem index to use at this moment in time is ‘1’.
-
-Then,
-
-`mmcli -m 1`
-
+Then, `mmcli -m 1`
 You can check, in passing, your own phone number (`| grep own:`) and get the SIM index (`| grep SIM`)
-
 The output for the SIM index looks like: SIM | dbus path: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SIM/**1**
-
 So the SIM index is 1.
-
-Finally,
-
-`mmcli -i 1`
-
+Finally, `mmcli -i 1`
 That will show you your IMSI, among other pieces of information.
-
 `-i` and `-m` are abbreviated forms of `--sim` and `--modem` respectively.
