 To delete all old (non-current) generations of your current profile:
 
-    $ nix-env --delete-generations old
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations old

 Instead of `old` you can also specify a list of generations, e.g.,
 
-    $ nix-env --delete-generations 10 11 14
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations 10 11 14
+```
 
 To delete all generations older than a specified number of days (except
 the current generation), use the `d` suffix. For example,
 
-    $ nix-env --delete-generations 14d
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations 14d
+```
 
 deletes all generations older than two weeks.
 
 After removing appropriate old generations you can run the garbage
 collector as follows:
 
-    $ nix-store --gc

+$ nix-store --gc
