  BODY FORMAT GUIDE

  Everything below the --- frontmatter above is the article body.
  It renders as Markdown and supports standard formatting.

  STRUCTURE GUIDELINES
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  • Start with a short intro paragraph (2–4 sentences). No h2 heading — just prose.
    This is the first thing readers see after the hero. Set the context quickly.

  • Use ## (h2) headings to divide the issue into major sections.
    These auto-populate the "In this issue" table of contents on the article page.
    Aim for 3–6 sections per issue.

  • Use ### (h3) headings for sub-points within a section.

  • Keep paragraphs short (3–5 sentences max). This is a newsletter, not an essay.

  • Use bullet lists and bold text to break up dense information.

  • End with a short closing paragraph or a teaser for the next issue.
    Keep it brief — 1–3 sentences.

  WRITING RULES (stop-slop)
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  • No throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing:", "It turns out", "The truth is")
  • No emphasis crutches ("Full stop.", "Let that sink in.", "Make no mistake")
  • No adverbs (-ly words: really, just, literally, genuinely, simply, actually, etc.)
  • No binary contrasts ("Not X. It's Y." → just say Y)
  • Active voice. Name the subject. Inanimate things don't act — people do.
  • Vary sentence length. Mix short and long. Avoid three sentences of the same length in a row.
  • No em dashes. Use a comma or period instead.
  • No narrator-from-a-distance. "You" beats "People." Specifics beat abstractions.
  • No vague declaratives ("The implications are significant" → name the specific implication)
  • State facts directly. No softening, no hand-holding.

  EXAMPLE BODY
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Canadian students leave billions in grant money unclaimed every year. Most of it
  doesn't require anything beyond proof of enrollment and a short application form.
  This issue covers where to find it and how to apply.

  ## Canada Student Grant

  The Canada Student Grant is the federal government's largest non-repayable student
  support program. For the 2024–25 year, eligible full-time students can receive up to
  $4,200 per year — money that never needs to be repaid.

  ### Who qualifies

  You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident enrolled in a designated
  post-secondary institution. Financial need is assessed based on your family income
  and the number of people in your household.
