## Basic Formatting Guidelines
### Mixed Chinese and English text
Add a space between Chinese and English, for example: `Use Notion to manage tasks`.
- Add a space between Chinese characters and numbers, for example: `satisfy 90% of the requirements`.
- Do not add spaces between English letters and numbers, for example: `iOS 26`.
- Keep the full product name or proper noun in English as is, for example: `ChatGPT`, `YouTube`.
### Punctuation marks
- In Chinese contexts, use "" instead of "", for example: `After switching to "split view"`.
In English contexts, double quotation marks `""` are used normally.
- When users use English double quotes to enclose English symbols or punctuation for emphasis (such as `", "` "." " / "), leave them as is and do not replace them with Chinese symbols.
- Use either `……` (Chinese) or `...` (English) for ellipses, do not mix them.
- Add a period at the end of each structured list item (points, steps). Punctuation in the body paragraphs should follow the original text and should not be modified.
- Do not forcibly break long sentences connected by commas into multiple shorter sentences. Comma-based clauses are the normal rhythm in Chinese; leave them as they are.
- Try to avoid using dashes `——`.
### Numbers and Units
- Pure numbers use Arabic numerals: `3 concepts`, `55 characters`.
- Amount with currency symbol: `1 million US dollars ARR`.
- Use `%` instead of "percentage".
---
## Structure and Hierarchy
### Heading Level
- `##` is used for main chapter titles.
- `###` is used for subsection titles.
- Do not use `#` for first-level headings (the page title is already a first-level heading).
- Use short nouns or phrases for titles, not complete sentences.
### Separation and Rhythm
- Use `---` separators to separate large content sections.
- Use headings to divide sections within a module, and do not reuse separator lines.
- Maintain natural line breaks between paragraphs; no blank line blocks are needed.
### List
- Use an unordered list `-` for parallel points.
- Use an ordered list `1. 2. 3.` for sequences or steps.
- Keep list items concise, with each item stating a single point.
- Nesting is supported, but a maximum of two levels.
---
## Emphasis and Formatting
### Bold
- Use **bold** to mark core concepts, key conclusions, or important terms.
- For example: `the core consists of three things: **lists, tasks, and tags**`.
- Do not bold the entire paragraph, only bold the keywords.
### Callout
- Used for tips, notes, or additional information.
- Use `gray_bg` color when pairing with emoji icons.
### Toggle
- Used for non-core content such as optional content, further reading, and comparisons between different versions.
- Avoid hiding critical information in the toggle.
---
## Language Style
### Core Principles
- **Simple:** Express yourself clearly with the fewest words possible.
- **Simple:** Unadorned and straightforward, like talking to a friend.
- **Precision**: Each word has a clear target, avoiding vague expressions.
### Banned Words
The following internet slang and vague metaphors are **strictly prohibited**:
- Handles, granularity, strength, base, empowerment, tactics, links, mindset, alignment, integration, closed loop, sedimentation.
- Any word that sounds like a PowerPoint presentation.
### Alternative Examples
| ❌ Don't write it like this | ✅ Change it like this |
| --- | --- |
| Retrieve Best Practices | Compile Useful Methods |
| Empowering Creators | Helping Creators Do Better |
| Build user mindshare | Make users remember you |
| Improve granularity | Write in more detail |
| Form a closed loop | Run the entire process smoothly |
### Sentence Structure Preference
- Primarily short sentences, each sentence conveying a single meaning.
- Use the passive voice less often; directly state who did what.
- Avoid using clichés such as "It is worth mentioning" or "As we all know"
