 ## Usage
+
 Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
 
 smartdata is an ODM that adheres to TypeScript practices and uses classes to organize data.
 It uses RethinkDB as persistent storage.
 
 ## Intention
+
 There are many ODMs out there, however when we searched for an ODM that uses TypeScript,
 acts smart while still embracing the NoSQL idea we didn't find a matching solution.
 This is why we started smartdata.
 
 How RethinkDB's terms map to the ones of smartdata:
 
-RethinkDB term | smartdata class
+| RethinkDB term | smartdata class   |
---- | ---
+| -------------- | ----------------- |
-Database | smartdata.Db
+| Database       | smartdata.Db      |
-Table | smartdata.DbTable
+| Table          | smartdata.DbTable |
-Document | smartdata.DbDoc
+| Document       | smartdata.DbDoc   |
 
 ### class Db
+
 represents a Database. Naturally it has .connect() etc. methods on it.
+
 ```javascript
-import * as smartdata from 'smartdata'
+import * as smartdata from "smartdata";
 
 let myRethinkDb1 = new smartdata.Db({
   // rethinkDb connection options here
-})
+});
 
-myDb1.connect()
+myDb1.connect();
 ```
 
 ### class DbCollection
+
 represents a collection of objects.
 A collection is defined by the object class (that is extending smartdata.dbdoc) it respresents

 ### class DbDoc

 represents a individual document in a collection
 and thereby is ideally suited to extend the class you want to actually store.

 Since you define your classes in TypeScript and types flow through smartdata in a generic way
 you should get all the Intellisense and type checking you love when using smartdata.
