The structure of the content which needs delivery is not really a factor when it comes to Yarn Spinner.
You could write each paragraph as a really long line and just set your editor to wrap, and it would work exactly the same, or there are several ways to break paragraphs only when told. Easy!

A big one is the ongoing debacle we have with the developers of VSCode about how to completely disable Copilot features app-wide. The current advice is to go to the Command Palette and run "Chat: Hide Copilot", despite all the other misleading settings flags that exist but do nothing.

Learn about the huge range of customisation options in VSCode.
Set up the loc parts early, because it's also what handles line-related assets like audio or metadata, not just translations.
Our docs site is huge. The discoverability of individual pages is not the best but there are loads to find 💚

The Russians responsible for the Soyuz are probably getting pretty tired of having to help the Americans clean up their own messes for all of space history ever.

In many places, things have regressed and it feels like we can't step away from that fight for even a moment. But you can, and should, take a moment for yourself to write some toxic yuri (or whatever floats your personal boat) and feel some pride. Feel some joy. Those moments are the point.

In fact, we probably couldn't stop you from doing it if we tried. Horny feckers 🏳️🌈
