Developing a best-practice stylesheet will require testing to ensure consistency and reliability of macros, markup, or content arrangement.  Below are various features we should consider:

Tools Available to Users

Headings

 Headings are pre-defined styles of text common across word processing and web development applications.  Users should employ headings for outline or nested section headings, for several reasons.

...

Headings should be used sequentially (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and so on.)  Start with Heading 1, and don't skip heading styles as you build your outline.


Tables

Tables as standard form of organization, especially for tutorials.  Recommended.  How do they look on Mobile?

Table of Contents 

Lists headings on pages.  Configurable based on included headings.  Any lengthy page, with multiple headings (like this one) should have a Table of Contents macro.  Here's an example:

Children Display

Lists any child pages of the pages on which it is posted. Recommended the home page for each space, as well as parent pages for offices.  "Page Tree" purports to do the same thing, and we used it in the past, but it is not visible in the mobile browser version, so it should be replaced.

...

Verify that these two work on mobile.

Horizontal Rule

These are simple lines that can be installed between paragraphs.  A visual accent, they help separate content and can be installed however the user wishes.  There's examples above.  Here's another:
