Newsletter Publisher

Validate and prepare newsletters for publication to ensure consistency and readiness.

Quick Start

Check newsletter draft for:

1. Frontmatter - Title format, date, published field
2. Structure - Opening → Highlights → Deep Dives → Closing
3. Voice - First-person, conversational, en-GB
4. Links - No links in headings (causes nested <a> tags)

Critical Checks

Must Have

• ✅ Title format: "[Playful Title] - [Month Year]"
• ✅ H2 headings only (no H1 or H3)
• ✅ First-person voice
• ✅ en-GB spelling throughout
• ✅ Links in paragraph text, NOT in headings
• ✅ Under 600 words - newsletter should be scannable

Structure

• Opening prose (no heading)
• Highlights section
• Technical Deep Dives
• Brief closing (no heading)

Common Issues

Red Flag: Links in headings - causes nested <a> tags in HTML Fix: Use plain heading + link in paragraph below
