This action simplifies the workflow for configuring the build environment of a CMake project. It can also be optionally specified to build a CMake project using the `cmake --build` command and test it using the `ctest` command.
 
 ## Features
 
-- Configures a project using the [`cmake`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) command.
-- Option to build a project using the `cmake --build` command.
-- Option to test a project using the [`ctest`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html) command.
+- Configures a CMake project using the [`cmake`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) command.
+- Optionally builds a CMake project using the `cmake --build` command.
+- Optionally tests a CMake project using the [`ctest`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html) command.
 - Auto-detects and installs required dependencies.
-- Supports specifying multiple CMake options directly from the Action inputs.
