-* The xml code on this page was tested with onisplit v0.9.86.0, v0.9.94.0 and  v0.9.95.0
+* The XML on this page was tested with OniSplit v0.9.86.0, v0.9.94.0 and v0.9.95.0.
-* M3GM files local (level''N'') and global (level0).
+* M3GM files can be both local (level''N'') and global (level0).
-** Most global M3GMs are used by particle.
