How to structure a long post

Updated today

Long writing is easier to read when readers can see its shape. A few simple blocks help them follow along, skim, and find their place again.
Break it up with headingsHeadings split your post into sections and let readers skim. Type /head and pick a size, or choose one from the Paragraph dropdown at the bottom of the editor.
Use Heading 2 for main sections and Heading 3 for smaller parts inside them.
Keep heading levels in order. Do not jump from Heading 2 straight to Heading 4.
Your post's title is already the biggest heading, so you rarely need Heading 1 in the body.
Use lists for steps and ideasNumbered list for steps that happen in order.
Bulleted list for ideas that do not need an order.
Check list for tasks or a to-do. Readers see a tick box next to each item.
Highlight a line with a quoteA Quote sets text apart in italics with a line beside it. Use it for a quote from someone else, or to pull out one line you want readers to remember.
Mark a change with a horizontal ruleA Horizontal rule draws a thin line across the page. Use it when you move to a new topic or a new scene, where a heading would feel too formal.
Tuck extra detail into a collapsible sectionA Collapsible section (called Toggle list in the / menu) shows only a title until a reader clicks it to open. It is great for extra detail that not every reader needs, like notes, sources, a long example, or answers to common questions.
1.Type /toggle, or click + and choose Collapsible.
2.Type a title where it says "Toggle details".
3.Click the arrow to open it, then add your content inside.
A simple rule of thumbIf a reader would scroll more than a full screen without seeing a heading, image, or break, consider adding one.
