Proofreads Markdown files against Google guidelines.
# Proofreading Markdown ## Overview Help us transform technical text into clear, concise, and machine-readable Markdown. We follow the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide. ## Workflow ### 1. Check line length - [ ] Keep lines under 80 characters. - [ ] Use **semantic line breaks**: Follow the guidelines in [references/semantic_breaks.md](references/semantic_breaks.md). ### 2. Fix voice and tone - [ ] Use active voice. - [ ] Use present tense. - [ ] Use second person ("you"). No "we". - [ ] Use contractions. ### 3. Check word choice - [ ] No forbidden terms: "e.g.", "i.e.", "etc.", "should", "would", "could". - [ ] Use Oxford comma and American spelling. ### 4. Style headings and lists - [ ] Use Sentence case for headings. - [ ] Put a blank line after all headings. - [ ] Numbered lists MUST use `1.` for every item to allow easy reordering. ### 5. Use less words in sections with steps - [ ] If a section has steps in it, be brief. Keep it short, simple, and accurate. ### 6. Format links - [ ] Use link definitions (reference-style links) instead of inline links. - [ ] Use site-relative paths (for example, `/resources/whats-new`) instead of full absolute URLs (for example, `https://dart.dev/resources/whats-new`) for internal site links.
