Retrieval-Friendly Markdown Structure Guide
Write markdown that remains easy to parse for both humans and retrieval systems.
1. Keep one intent per section with descriptive H2 headings.
2. Use short paragraphs and explicit terminology definitions.
3. Add bullet lists for procedures and decision rules.
4. Place source references near each quantitative claim.
5. Keep tables compact and include plain-language summaries.
6. End pages with FAQ blocks for high-intent queries.
Implementation notes
Structure consistency matters more than visual style for retrieval quality. Reuse heading and summary patterns so chunking systems can extract comparable sections across your content library.

FAQ
Do longer pages rank better for AI retrieval? Not by length alone; clarity and section-level intent are more important.
Should every section have examples? For technical pages, examples usually improve extraction and reduce ambiguity.
