 A circular buffer first starts empty and of some predefined length.
 For example, this is a 7-element buffer:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
+
+```text
+[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
+```
 
 Assume that a 1 is written into the middle of the buffer (exact starting location does not matter in a circular buffer):
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [ ][ ][ ][1][ ][ ][ ]
+
+```text
+[ ][ ][ ][1][ ][ ][ ]
+```
 
 Then assume that two more elements are added — 2 & 3 — which get appended after the 1:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [ ][ ][ ][1][2][3][ ]
+
+```text
+[ ][ ][ ][1][2][3][ ]
+```
 
 If two elements are then removed from the buffer, the oldest values inside the buffer are removed.
 The two elements removed, in this case, are 1 & 2, leaving the buffer with just a 3:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][3][ ]
+
+```text
+[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][3][ ]
+```
 
 If the buffer has 7 elements then it is completely full:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [5][6][7][8][9][3][4]
+
+```text
+[5][6][7][8][9][3][4]
+```
 
 When the buffer is full an error will be raised, alerting the client that further writes are blocked until a slot becomes free.
 
 When the buffer is full, the client can opt to overwrite the oldest data with a forced write.
 In this case, two more elements — A & B — are added and they overwrite the 3 & 4:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [5][6][7][8][9][A][B]
+
+```text
+[5][6][7][8][9][A][B]
+```
 
 3 & 4 have been replaced by A & B making 5 now the oldest data in the buffer.
 Finally, if two elements are removed then what would be returned is 5 & 6 yielding the buffer:
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-    [ ][ ][7][8][9][A][B]
+
+```text
+[ ][ ][7][8][9][A][B]
+```
 
 Because there is space available, if the client again uses overwrite to store C & D then the space where 5 & 6 were stored previously will be used not the location of 7 & 8.
 7 is still the oldest element and the buffer is once again full.
