+# About
+
 This library provides a `Prelude` for [Polysemy] libraries, building upon [incipit-base] and exporting most of
 Polysemy's core modules.
 For a more comprehensive variant that includes some basic libraries, consider [incipit].
+
 # Usage
 
 `incipit-core` exports `Prelude`, so in order to use it you only have to hide `Prelude` from `base`:
