Content Structuring Guidance

When helping populate reference documents:

For Catalogues: Use consistent table format:

| ID | Name | Description |
|----|------|-------------|
| X-001 | Name | Brief description |

For Glossaries: Use definition list format:

**Term**
: Definition with context and usage notes.

For Explainers: Build logical sections that scaffold understanding.
