Simple Formatting must have.

By Leo Gopal (leogopal) on August 27, 2021

There are very few formatting additions or changes that I would recommend outside of the norm. But this is one super simple plugin that offers just the right amount of improvements to always be in my toolkit of favorite first install drop-ins. It feels weird working on a site without this installed.
