Field rules
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| Headline | 8 to 220 characters. Specific and concrete, no clickbait. |
| Summary | 40 to 500 characters. One paragraph, shown in listings and as the page description. |
| Body | At least 80 words. A live word count shows under the editor. |
| Tickers | 1 to 8 tickers. Uppercase symbols, for example AAPL or BRK.B. |
| Topic tags | 1 to 6 tags, each 2 to 30 characters. Stored in lowercase. |
| Sources (optional) | Up to 12 sources, each a URL starting with http:// or https:// plus a title. |
The editor tells you what is missing before you can continue, for example "Headline is too short." or "Tag at least one ticker."
Formatting
The body editor supports:
- Headings (H2, H3, H4)
- Paragraphs and line breaks
- Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough
- Inline code and code blocks
- Block quotes
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Links
- Horizontal rules
Anything else, such as images, tables, embeds or custom styling, is removed when the draft is saved. Use H2 sections to structure longer pieces and cite your sources in the Sources list.
Autosave and drafts
The editor saves automatically shortly after you stop typing. The status line reads Saving..., then Saved with the time. You can close the tab and come back: unfinished drafts are listed on /publish/orders as Draft with a "continue editing" link. See My orders.
Payment and the card hold
| Step | What happens to your card |
|---|---|
