 ### Node Support
+
 Automated tests are run using the latest release of each currently active version of Node.JS.
 While Node.JS v8 is no longer supported by the Node.JS team, the latest version of Node.JS v8 is still included in our testing suite.
 Please note that versions of Node.JS v8 prior to `v8.5.0` will NOT work, because OpenTelemetry Node depends on the `perf_hooks` module introduced in `v8.5.0`
 
 ### Browser Support
+
 Automated browser tests are run in the latest version of Headless Chrome.
 There is currently no list of officially supported browsers, but OpenTelemetry is developed using standard web technologies with wide support and should work in currently supported versions of major browsers.
