What problem does it solve?

Rules for writing markdown that renders correctly when copied into Google Docs. Covers diagrams (no ASCII art), tables, code blocks (65-char lines), headings, links, and formatting. Use when authoring RFCs or design docs for Google Docs. Don't use for general markdown or GitHub-only documents.

• Avoid ASCII diagrams and box-drawing characters by recommending alternative layouts like nested bullet lists and simple tables.
• Code block guidelines: limit lines to 65 characters and maintain 2-space indentation.
• Headings, links, and general formatting guidelines to preserve structure when pasted.
