Uniform tics, noteable arguments addition.
Changed all N-tics for preformatted/code text into single tics if that code was sinle line (i.e. bash commands, compiler arguments) Added --main-module, --module-dir to Notable arguments section. Realized that the text <blah blah> was disappering, so changed it to `<bla bla>`. Need to confirm it success.

You will need to `source util/setchplenv.EXT` from within the Chapel directory (`$CHPL_HOME`) every time your terminal starts so its suggested that you drop that command in a script that will get executed on startup (like .bashrc).
