 ### TypeProf
 
 * TypeProf is a type analysis tool for Ruby code based on abstract interpretation.
+
     * It reads non-annotated Ruby code, tries inferring its type signature, and prints
       the analysis result in RBS format.

     * Though it supports only a subset of the Ruby language yet, we will continuously
       improve the coverage of language features, the analysis performance, and usability.
