 'example_BAMQ.m' gives a minimal example how to use BAM-Q in Matlab. 
 
 The BAM-Q output provides four submeasures:
-- binQ:         ... binaural quality measure; based on a combination of of the submeasures that represent differences 
+- **binQ**:         ... binaural quality measure; based on a combination of of the submeasures that represent differences 
                     between the reference and the test signal for interaural level differences (ILDdiff), 
                     interaural time/phase differences (ITDdiff) and the interaural vector strength ('IVSdiff').
-                  - 100 ... no difference
-                  - 0   ... large difference
-                  - -X  ... even larger difference
--  ILDdiff      ... intermediate ILD measure
--  ITDdiff      ... intermediate ITD measure (can be 0 if ITDs are not evaluable)
--  IVSdiff      ... intermediate IVS measure
+    - 100 ... no difference
+    - 0   ... large difference
+    - -X  ... even larger difference
+-  **ILDdiff**      ... intermediate ILD measure
