Overview
The draft should be converted into a clean HTML-only article with no title and no extra markup. Keep the writing concise, use short paragraphs, and rely on section headers for structure. Avoid bold text anywhere except the section headers.
Linking Rules
Do not cite any non-govfacts.org links. If the draft includes parenthetical links, replace them with natural, in-sentence hyperlinks using the required format. For example, a reference can be written as Hold Mail service or P.O. Box depending on context.
Formatting Rules
Return HTML only, with no code fences, no stray quotation marks, and no leading or trailing characters such as triple backticks or apostrophes. Keep the final result between 100 and 300 words.
