Formatting tips for professional PDFs

• Short paragraphs: Keep lines readable; aim for 6080 characters per line.
• Hierarchy: Use H2 for main sections and H3 for subsections; avoid jumping levels.
• Lists: Break complex steps into bullets or numbers.
• Tables: When comparing options, a simple table beats long paragraphs.
• Whitespace: Dont cram; blank space improves comprehension.
