 Psych supported the static build with specific version of libyaml sources. You can build psych with libyaml-0.2.5 like this.
 
-    gem install psych -- --with-libyaml-source-dir=/path/to/libyaml-0.2.5
+```bash
+gem install psych -- --with-libyaml-source-dir=/path/to/libyaml-0.2.5
+```
 
 In order to use the gem release in your app, and not the stdlib version,
 you'll need the following:
 
-    gem 'psych'
-    require 'psych'
+```ruby
+gem 'psych'
+require 'psych'
+```
 
 Or if you use Bundler add this to your `Gemfile`:
 
-    gem 'psych'
+```ruby
+gem 'psych'
+```
 
 JRuby ships with a pure Java implementation of Psych.
