FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a newsletter for formatting and structure before publishing?

Newsletter validation checks your draft's structure, frontmatter, heading levels, and content layout automatically. This Skill verifies required sections like Highlights and Deep Dives exist, enforces H2-only headings, confirms title format matches [Playful Title] - [Month Year], and ensures links appear in paragraphs rather than headings, catching errors before publication.

What formatting rules does newsletter validation enforce?

Newsletter validation enforces title formatting as [Playful Title] - [Month Year], restricts headings to H2 level only, requires first-person voice throughout, applies en-GB spelling and style conventions, and flags links placed in headings that could break HTML rendering.

Can I check my newsletter for en-GB compliance and consistent voice?

Yes. Newsletter validation scans your draft for en-GB spelling, grammar, and style consistency, verifies first-person voice is maintained throughout, and confirms all formatting aligns with brand standards, ensuring linguistic and tonal uniformity across the entire publication.

What sections must a newsletter include to pass validation?

Newsletters must include required sections: opening prose, Highlights, technical Deep Dives, What's Coming, and closing content. Validation confirms this structure is present and ordered correctly, preventing incomplete or disorganized publications.

Why would links in newsletter headings cause problems?

Links placed in headings can break HTML structure and rendering in email clients. Newsletter validation flags this critical issue and ensures all links are positioned within paragraph text where they function correctly and maintain proper document structure.
