-= Attic - v0.5
+# Attic - v0.6-RC1 (2021-07-01)
 
 A place to hide private instance variables in your Ruby objects.
 
-== Example
+## Example
 
+```ruby
     require 'attic'
-    
+
     class String
       extend Attic
       attic :timestamp
     end
-    
+
     a = "anything"
     a.timestamp = "1980-11-18"
     a.instance_variables                      # => []
     a.timestamp                               # 1980-11-18
-                                              
+
     a.attic_variables                         # => [:timestamp]
-    
+
     a.attic_variable_set :tags, [:a, :b, :c]
     a.attic_variable_get :tags                # [:a, :b, :c]
-    
+
     a.attic_variables                         # => [:timestamp, :tags]
- 
-== Some objects have no metaclasses
+```
+
+## Some objects have no metaclasses
 
-Symbol and Fixnum objects do not have metaclasses so instance variables are hidden in the object itself.
+Symbol objects do not have metaclasses so instance variables are hidden in the object itself.
 
 
-== Installation
+## Installation
 
 Via Rubygems, one of:
 
+```shell
     $ gem install attic
+```
 
 or via download:
 * attic-latest.tar.gz[http://github.com/delano/attic/tarball/latest]
