Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a heading level check (heading skipping)?
A: To keep semantic SEO clean and reader-friendly, headings should be sequential (e.g., H2 followed by H3). If you skip from H2 directly to H4, MarkBoard warns you in the outline tree.
Q: How are words counted for mixed language texts?
A: It uses a hybrid character count algorithm that accurately separates Chinese characters, English words, numbers, and symbols to ensure precise count metrics.
Q: Can I preview and export the rendered HTML?
A: Yes. In addition to structural analysis, you can toggle the preview tab and copy the clean HTML code to paste into other publishing tools.
