# Formatting options

***

Request specific layout features, visual styles, or structural elements. This helps you create publication-ready documents or ones that adhere to brand guidelines.

> <mark style="color:purple;">"Structure the document as a two-column article with headings and subheadings. Use a modern, sans-serif font."</mark>

This ensures the document aligns with a professional standard or a specific design requirement, saving you time on manual formatting.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro tip:** When requesting complex formatting, consider describing it in plain language first, then adding technical terms as supplementary guidance. This ensures DeepWriter understands your intent even if it misinterprets a specific command.
{% endhint %}

You can even influence the *style and reading experience* through formatting. For instance, bullet points and short paragraphs suggest a clear, executive-style brief. Meanwhile, longer blocks of text and footnotes signal a more scholarly or research-oriented approach.
