**Front Matter Structure** (based on established documentation standards):

---

title:"Page Title"# Full descriptive title

title:"Page Title"# Fullclear,descriptive title

description:"Brief description"# SEO and page description

sidebar:"Page Title Shortened if Necessary"# Page title shortened to 20 characters maximum (not shortened if not necessary)

---

- always use active voice unless**absolutely** unavoidable. that includes preferring opening sentences with active simple present tense instead of gerunds.

- never use "please" and never use i.e. nor e.g. Only "For example" or "Example:". And always use correct punctuation including periods - even when in ordered lists.Finally, every article must ALWAYS open with an introduction - even if minimal.

- never use divider lines in the middle of articles unless you consult with me before starting.

- exception to title case for titles and headings: ensure that sidebarTitle always use sentence case and is always limited to 20 chars at most. This means that sometimes longer title needs to be shortened only for the sidebarTitle

- Legacy fastdup documentation maintained in separate configuration

- for sections with subsections, there should never be any concluding or summary paragraphs at the end of the last subsection that are related to summaries of the entire main section. instead, all summaries, conclusions, etc. should be part of the intro to the main section.

- lists with more than 2 items should always use unordered lists even if they also make sense as part of prose paragraphs.

- <Frame>
