  4. Comprehensive attribute reference links (main + nested components)
  5. Clear section organization
  6. Minimal, action-oriented descriptions

​
Impact

Developers can now:
  • Quickly understand how to style components with the 3-step pattern
  • Access attribute documentation for both main and nested components
  • See proper XML syntax highlighting in all code examples
  • Navigate easily between related component attributes
