Documentation should follow consistent formatting and structural patterns to maximize readability and maintainability. Key guidelines:

  1. Keep line lengths to 80 characters maximum
  2. Place all document links at the bottom of the file and use in-doc references
  3. Document default behaviors before introducing exceptions
  4. Use proper spacing and indentation for examples and code blocks

Example of proper documentation formatting:

# Feature Name

Default behavior description first, followed by any exceptions or special cases.

## Usage

```js
// Code example with proper indentation
const example = require('node:example');
example.doSomething();

Options

```

This format ensures consistency across documentation and makes it easier for users to find and understand information.
