-# Format Sample Application
-
-## Overview
-The aim of this sample application is to show how to format different storage
-devices for different file systems. There are 2 scenarios prepared for this
-sample:
-* littleFS on flash device
-* FAT file system on RAM disk
-
-## Building and running
-To run this demo, build it for the desired board and flash it.
-To build demo that will use RAM disk use `prj_ram.conf` configuration file (e.g.
-by setting `CONF_FILE=prj_ram.conf`).
-
-The demo was build for 2 boards:
-1. nRF 52DK with flash
-  ```
-  west build -b nrf52dk_nrf52832 samples/subsys/fs/format
-  west flash
-  ```
-
-2. MIMXRT1064-EVK with RAM disk
-  ```
-  CONF_FILE=prj_ram.conf west build -b mimxrt1064_evk samples/subsys/fs/format
-  west flash
-  ```
-
-When sample runs successfully you should see following message on the screen:
-```
-I: LittleFS version 2.4, disk version 2.0
-I: FS at flash-controller@4001e000:0x7a000 is 6 0x1000-byte blocks with 512 cycle
-I: sizes: rd 16 ; pr 16 ; ca 64 ; la 32
-I: Format successful
-```

+FS Format Sample
+################
+
+Overview
+***********
+
+This sample shows how to format different storage
+devices for different file systems. There are 2 scenarios prepared for this
+sample:
+* littleFS on flash device
+* FAT file system on RAM disk
+
+Building and running
+********************
+
+To run this sample, build it for the desired board and scenario and flash it.
+
+The Flash scenario is supported on the nrf52dk_nrf52832 board.
+The RAM disk scenario is supported on the mimxrt1064_evk board.
+To build the RAM disk sample, the configuration `prj_ram.conf` needs to be used by setting `CONF_FILE=prj_ram.conf`.
+
+The Flash sample for the nrf 52DK board can be build as follow:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/fs/format
+   :board: nrf52dk_nrf52832
+   :goals: build flash
+   :compact:
+
+The RAM disk sample for the MIMXRT1064-EVK board can be build as follow:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/fs/format
+   :board: mimxrt1064_evk
+   :conf: "prj_ram.conf"
+   :goals: build flash
+   :compact:
+
+Sample Output
+=============
+
+When the sample runs successfully you should see following message on the screen:
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  I: LittleFS version 2.4, disk version 2.0
+  I: FS at flash-controller@4001e000:0x7a000 is 6 0x1000-byte blocks with 512 cycle
+  I: sizes: rd 16 ; pr 16 ; ca 64 ; la 32
+  I: Format successful
