 ## TROUBLESHOOTING:
 
-Command version mismatch
-: set `Helpema::WRAPPER.version = "your.version"` or just nil it.
-
-More documentation
-: see [sig/helpema.rb](sig/helpema.rbs) for the expected method signatures.
++ Command version mismatch: set `Helpema::WRAPPER.version = "your.version"` or just nil it.
