Markdown
Your page, in the format LLMs were trained on.
Markdown is the lowest-friction text format LLMs are trained on at massive scale - model weights understand `#`, `>`, `**` and bullet lists natively, so well-structured Markdown is parsed more reliably than HTML when ingested into context windows or RAG pipelines. Almost every AI coding tool, doc site, and chat UI consumes it as first-class input.
Geordy generates this format for every page on your site that warrants it - auto-detected by page type, served from your subdomain, and refreshed on the cadence below.

How to make this format work for AI.
- Use ATX-style headings (`#`, `##`) and keep a single H1 per document; LLMs use heading hierarchy to chunk and route content.
- Prefer fenced code blocks with a language tag (```python) - improves both human syntax highlighting and LLM code understanding.
- Write descriptive link text - `[CommonMark spec](https://spec.commonmark.org)` not `[click here](...)`; link text becomes context for the model.
- Stick to CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown; avoid renderer-specific extensions if the file will be ingested by external tools.
- Mixing tabs and spaces in nested lists - most parsers and LLM tokenizers lose the structure.
- Skipping a blank line before a list, code block, or heading - the original Markdown spec requires it and many parsers will silently merge the elements.
- Embedding raw HTML for layout (divs, spans) - defeats portability and often gets stripped in RAG pre-processing.
