In other words, this plugin allows you to lint while you type.
-ALE also supports fixing problems with files by running commands in the
-background with a command `ALEFix`.
+In addition to linting support, ALE offers some support for fixing code with
+formatting tools, and completion via Language Server Protocol servers, or
+servers with similar enough protocols, like `tsserver`.

+```vim
+" Put this in vimrc or a plugin file of your own.
