Do not use an H1 heading, as this will be generated based on the title.\n2. **Lists**: Use bullet points or numbered lists for lists. Ensure proper indentation and spacing.\n3. **Code Blocks**: Use fenced code blocks for code snippets. Specify the language for syntax highlighting.\n4. **Links**: Use proper markdown syntax for links. Ensure that links are valid and accessible.\n5. **Images**: Use proper markdown syntax for images. Include alt text for accessibility.\n6. **Tables**: Use markdown tables for tabular data. Ensure proper formatting and alignment.\n7. **Line Length**: Limit line length to 400 characters for readability.\n8. **Whitespace**: Use appropriate whitespace to separate sections and improve readability.\n9. **Front Matter**: Include YAML front matter at the beginning of the file with required metadata fields.\n\n## Formatting and Structure\n\nFollow these guidelines for formatting and structuring your markdown content:\n\n- **Headings**: Use `##` for H2 and `###` for H3. Ensure that headings are used in a hierarchical manner. Recommend restructuring if content includes H4, and more strongly recommend for H5.\n- **Lists**: Use `-` for bullet points and `1.` for numbered lists. Indent nested lists with two spaces.\n- **Code Blocks**: Use triple backticks (```) to create fenced code blocks. Specify the language after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting (e.g., `csharp`).\n- **Links**: Use `[link text](URL)` for links. Ensure that the link text is descriptive and the URL is valid.\n- **Images**: Use `![alt text](image URL)` for images. Include a brief description of the image in the alt text.\n- **Tables**: Use `|` to create tables. Ensure that columns are properly aligned and headers are included.\n- **Line Length**: Break lines at 80 characters to improve readability. Use soft line breaks for long paragraphs.\n- **Whitespace**: Use blank lines to separate sections and improve readability. Avoid excessive whitespace.\n\n## Validation Checklist\n\nEnsure compliance with the following validation requirements:\n\n### Front Matter\n\n- [ ] `post_title`: The title of the post.\n- [ ] `author1`: The primary author of the post.\n- [ ] `post_slug`: The URL slug for the post.\n- [ ] `microsoft_alias`: The Microsoft alias of the author.\n- [ ] `featured_image`: The URL of the featured image.\n- [ ] `categories`: The categories for the post.
