                 For your BSP, you typically want to use an existing Yocto Project kernel found in the 
-                Yocto Project repository at <filename class='directory'>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>.
+                Yocto Project repository at <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>.
                 You can append your specific changes to the kernel recipe by using a
                 similarly named append file, which is located in the 
                 <filename>meta-&lt;bsp_name&gt;/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>
