## 1. Documentation Guidelines

- A line between each entry like above.
    - This is especially necessary for the kramdown markup syntax. Kramdown needs a line break between each block level element (paragraphs, lists, codeblocks, etc ...)
- Use `ACE3` instead of `ACE 3`.
- Remove each entry that is not used.
- Don't forget to say what you're going to work on in #documentation in slack or [this topic](https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/issues/1166)
- Keybinds in ``` <kbd>keyboard tags</kbd>  ```
- Keywords in ``` `backticks`  ```
- Capitals at the start of a sentence and `.`at the end.
- Verify everything in game
