 ## Storybook

 More examples can be found in the [storybook](https://lukix.github.io/declarative-canvas). Source code of storybook stories is placed in the [src/stories](./src/storybook/stories) directory.
 
 ## API Reference
+
 `declarative-canvas` exports four objects/functions:
+
 - `createDrawFunction` - draw function factory,
 - `objectTypes` - dictionary object of available object types which can be drawn,
 - `drawMethods` - dictionary object of available drawing methods.
 - `convertCanvasCoordinates` - lets you convert canvas coordinates to base coordinates that you use to render objects.
 
 ### createDrawFunction
+
 A factory function that takes one optional argument:
+
 ```ts
-(customDrawHandlers = {}) => Function
+(customDrawHandlers = {}) => Function;
 ```

 `customDrawHandlers` argument is described in [Custom draw handlers](#custom-draw-handlers) chapter.

 ## Context Props
+
 For every graphical object you can specify `contextProps` property.

 to [Canvas Rendering Context](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D).

 ## Custom draw handlers
+
 If you want to expand the capabilities of `declarative-canvas` to support more object types,
 you can specify custom draw handlers which will be used to draw objects with specified object type.
 Draw handler is a function with the following signature:
+
 ```ts
 (context, options, drawObject) => void
 ```
+
 To see examples of draw handlers, you can check out default draw handlers in [src/drawHandlerFunctions](./src/drawHandlerFunctions) directory.
 
 Custom handlers can be passed as a `customDrawHandlers` argument to `createDrawFunction`.
 `customDrawHandlers` should be an object, where keys represent object types and values represent custom handlers.
