 Below is a very simple Python script to send messages to a Bticino gateway. The script sends each command line argument as a single message to the gateway.
 Syntax:
-<source lang="bash">./btsend.py <OWN-message> <OWN-message> <OWN-message></source>
+<pre>./btsend.py <OWN-message> <OWN-message> <OWN-message></pre>
 For example, turn off light 15 and turn on light 17:
-<source lang="bash">./btsend.py *1*0*15## *1*1*17##</source>
+<pre>./btsend.py *1*0*15## *1*1*17##</pre>
