Formatting Tips for Better Text PDFs

Plain text doesn't have headings, bold, or formatting — but you can improve the output:

Use blank lines for paragraph spacing: Two blank lines between sections creates visual breathing room in the PDF.

ALL CAPS for headings: Simple way to visually distinguish section titles without markdown support.

--- dividers ---: Three dashes create an obvious visual separator between sections.

Standard font choice: Inter, Helvetica, or Times New Roman is appropriate. Avoid decorative fonts for formal documents.

  For code or log files, use a monospace font (Courier) to preserve column alignment.
