• Prefer Unicode to LaTeX in document and headline titles.

• Don't nest headlines deeper than level 3 or so.

• In article-style nodes, avoid nesting headlines past level two.

• End-of-sentence footnotes follow punctuation.

• Wrap side tangents in #+begin_margin-note ... #+end_margin-note blocks.

• List page-wide references in bulleted list under a "References" headline.

• Quotes at the beginning of articles should be prefixed with #+attr_msyds: epigraph.

• Sentence-case node titles. Exceptions come for nodes named after proper nouns, such as Enūma Eliš.References to other titles should also be stylised in italics, but Org-mode unfortunately seems to not recognise markup in titles.
