Markdown Guide

Use this page as a quick reference when writing or editing help documentation. Most pages can be written with simple Markdown. Starlight will handle the layout, sidebar, search, table of contents, previous/next links, and responsive behavior.

Write normal text as plain paragraphs. Keep each paragraph focused on one idea so users can scan the page quickly.

This is a second paragraph. Leave one blank line between paragraphs.

Use headings to structure the page.

## Main Section
### Subsection
#### Smaller Subsection

Use bullets when order does not matter.

  • Create a process.
  • Configure the required services.
  • Validate the setup.
  • Run the process.
  • Review the transaction logs.

Use numbered lists when order matters.
