* #GSubprocess allows the creation of and interaction with child
* comprehensive API for asynchronous I/O, such
* g_output_stream_splice_async(). This makes GSubprocess
* significantly more powerful and flexible than equivalent APIs in
- * some other languages such as the <literal>subprocess.py</literal>
+ * some other languages such as the `subprocess.py`
* included with Python. For example, using #GSubprocess one could
* create two child processes, reading standard output from the first,
* processing it, and writing to the input stream of the second, all
* without blocking the main loop.
*
* A powerful g_subprocess_communicate() API is provided similar to the
- * <literal>communicate()</literal> method of
- * <literal>subprocess.py</literal>. This enables very easy interaction
- * with a subprocess that has been opened with pipes.

*
* #GSubprocess defaults to tight control over the file descriptors open
* in the child process, avoiding dangling-fd issues that are caused by
* change of working directory, child setup functions, etc).
*
* A typical use of #GSubprocess will involve calling
- * g_subprocess_new(), followed by g_subprocess_wait() or
- * g_subprocess_wait_sync(). After the process exits, the status can be

* checked using functions such as g_subprocess_get_if_exited() (which
