Markdown structure to verify before you publish

Markdown looks simple until a missing blank line merges headings or a list. Preview in the browser before you paste into a CMS, readme, or ticket.

Quick structural checks

• Heading levels should not skip from # to ### without reason.
• Fenced code blocks need closing fences on their own lines.
• Nested lists need consistent indentation.

Combine with word count

After structure looks right, use the word counter for limits on descriptions or essays. Different destinations count characters differently; know which limit applies.
