+## The Components Contrib
 
 This contrib introduces Components and Composition to Evennia.
 Each 'Component' class represents a feature that will be 'enabled' on a typeclass instance.

 It supports both persisted attributes and in-memory attributes by using Evennia's AttributeHandler.

+## The Components Contrib
 
 This contrib introduces Components and Composition to Evennia.
 Each 'Component' class represents a feature that will be 'enabled' on a typeclass instance.
 You can register these components on an entire typeclass or a single object at runtime.
 It supports both persisted attributes and in-memory attributes by using Evennia's AttributeHandler.
 
-# Pros
+## Pros
 - You can reuse a feature across multiple typeclasses without inheritance
 - You can cleanly organize each feature into a self-contained class.
 - You can check if your object supports a feature without checking its instance.
 
-# Cons
+## Cons
 - It introduces additional complexity.
 - A host typeclass instance is required.
 
-# How to install
