 ## Building
 This project can be built with CMake 3.20 or above and a C++ compiler that supports C++20. This repo uses git submodules, so be sure to clone recursively (`git clone --recurse-submodules`) or initialize submodules recursively after cloning (`git submodule update --init --recursive`).
 
-From there, building is identical to any other cmake project, e.g. run `cmake` in the target build folder and point it at the root of this repo, then run `cmake --build .` from that target folder. You can also use different generators if you'd like to work in different IDE's like Xcode or Visual Studio by using the generator flag:

+2) Build with `cmake --build build`

 # open the generated Xcode project in that folder
-cmake -H. -Bbuild-cmake -GXcode

+```bash
 # generates into a folder called `build-cmake`
