Tips & Best Practices
- Use heading levels hierarchically (H1 for title, H2 for sections, H3 for subsections) to create a clear document structure.
- Add blank lines between different Markdown elements like paragraphs, lists, and code blocks to ensure proper rendering.
- Use fenced code blocks with language identifiers (```js) instead of indented code blocks for better readability and syntax highlighting.
- Leverage task lists (- [ ] and - [x]) for project tracking and to-do lists within your documentation.
