 Use the `env` option to inject additional variables to the environment in which the sandboxed code is executed.
 
-```lua
+    local msg = sandbox.run('return foo', {env = {foo = 'This is a global var on the the environment'}})
-local msg = sandbox.run('return foo', {env = {foo = 'This is a global var on the the environment'}})
-```
 
 The `env` variable will be used as an "index" by the sandbox environment, but it will *not* be modified at all (changes
 to the environment are thus lost). The only way to "get information out" from the sandboxed environments are:
 
 Through side effects, like writing to a database. You will have to provide the side-effects functions in `env`:
 
-```lua
+    local val = 1
-local val = 1
+    local env = { write_db = function(new_val) val = new_val end }
-local env = { write_db = function(new_val) val = new_val end }
+    sandbox.run('write_db(2)')
-sandbox.run('write_db(2)', { env = env })
+    assert(val = 2)
-assert(val = 2)
-```
 
 Through returned values:
 
-```lua
+    local env = { amount = 1 }
-local env = { amount = 1 }
+    local result = sandbox.run('return amount + 1', { env = env })
-local result = sandbox.run('return amount + 1', { env = env })
+    assert(result = 2)
-assert(result = 2)
+
