 # Syntax and the AST
 
 Working directly with source code is very inconvenient and error-prone. Thus,
-before we do anything else, we convert raw source code into an AST. It turns
-out that doing even this involves a lot of work, including lexing, parsing,
-macro expansion, name resolution, conditional compilation, feature-gate
-checking, and validation of the AST. In this chapter, we take a look at all
-of these steps.
+before we do anything else, we convert raw source code into an [Abstract Syntax
+Tree (`AST`)][`AST`]. It turns out that doing even this involves a lot of work,
+including [lexing, parsing], [`macro` expansion], [name resolution], conditional
+compilation, [feature-gate checking], and [validation] of the [`AST`]. In this chapter,
+we take a look at all of these steps.
 
 Notably, there isn't always a clean ordering between these tasks. For example,
-macro expansion relies on name resolution to resolve the names of macros and
-imports. And parsing requires macro expansion, which in turn may require
-parsing the output of the macro.
+`macro` expansion relies on name resolution to resolve the names of `macro`s and
+imports. And parsing requires `macro` expansion, which in turn may require
+parsing the output of the `macro`.
