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 → What's Coming → 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)
  • ✅ First-person voice
  • ✅ en-GB spelling throughout
  • ✅ Links in paragraph text, NOT in headings

Structure

  • Opening prose (no heading)
  • Highlights section
  • Technical Deep Dives
  • What's Coming preview
  • 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
