# Markdown Rules

Whenever writing `.md` files, obey the basic Markdown syntax as defined by:
https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

## Key Conventions
- Use `#`, `##`, `###` for headings (ATX-style), with a single space after the hash(es).
- Use `-` for unordered list items; `1.` for ordered lists.
- Wrap inline code in single backticks; fenced code blocks use triple backticks with a language identifier.
- Use `[text](url)` for links and `![alt](url)` for images.
- Bold: `**text**`. Italic: `*text*`. Strikethrough: `~~text~~`.
- Use blank lines between block elements (paragraphs, headings, code blocks, lists).
- Keep line lengths reasonable; do not insert hard wraps inside paragraphs unless required by the linter.
- Always end files with a single trailing newline.
