Q: How should I use text formatting in my content?

A: Avoid using text formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough, etc.) to convey key information. Instead, use lists or other formatting methods. Use italics sparingly, except for terms in another language or very short emphasized terms. Use bold font sparingly, with a maximum of 3-4 words in a sentence.

Bad example
Using bold text to convery key information, e.g. Items in bold are still available
Good example

Using a list to convey key information, e.g. The following items are still available:

  • item 1
  • item 2
