## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Keep lines under 80-100 characters
- Use relative links for internal docs
- Add badges for build status, coverage, etc.
- Include examples and screenshots
- Use semantic line breaks
- Test all links regularly

### ❌ DON'T

- Use "click here" as link text
- Forget alt text on images
- Mix HTML and Markdown unnecessarily
- Use absolute paths for local files
- Create walls of text without breaks
- Skip language specification in code blocks
- Use images for text content (accessibility)
