3131## Why GitHub Pages?
32- Ideally, GitHub Pages was intended for a project's
33- documentation. However, GitHub allowed users to use
34- it for other purposes within the boundaries given.
35- For instance, creating a site to promote your business
36- is not allowed.
37- But other than those limitations,
38- you have the option to use GitHub Pages
39- when you want to display information
40- and you want to share it to the rest of the world,
41- just like a blogging site. You can even
42- add an advertisement and donation button to enable
43- financial support.
44-
45- Remember, when you are creating a digital content,
46- it's better to use a plaintext file. Markdown is the
47- best format, as it can simply be turned into
48- HTML. And as we know, when it's HTML format, that's
49- the very consumption of web browsers, isn't it?
50-
51- This also reinforces the writers to use GitHub
52- as their development site because it is more
53- efficient as it uses ` git ` to record the
54- file's history. Even if Google Docs has a
55- similar version tracking, still ` git `
56- cannot be replaced.
57-
58- Now, here is the catch: when you want to distribute
59- your content as hard copy,
60- in Google Chrome, you can simply
61- right click the page and click ` Print `
62- you now have the PDF version of your content.
63- Also, say, you are creating content for another
64- website, you can simply embed the page and
65- your job is done. You have the repo as the
66- active site for its development, maybe, others
67- will collaborate too, and then the GitHub Pages
68- generated page as the output.
69- If ever you need a Google Docs
70- or Microsoft Word
71- version of this, simply copy the rendered
72- Markdown file of GitHub and paste it
73- on Google Docs or Microsoft Word, the format
74- will still be correct.
75-
76- As you can see, it's very practical.

33+ Originally, GitHub Pages was intended for a project's
34+ documentation. However, GitHub allows users to use it
35+ for other purposes within certain boundaries. For
36+ instance, creating a site to promote your business is
37+ allowed as long as it complies with GitHub's terms of
38+ service. Aside from those limitations, you have the
39+ option to use GitHub Pages when you want to display
40+ information and share it with the rest of the world,
41+ just like a blogging site. You can even add
42+ advertisements and donation buttons to enable financial
43+ support.
44+
45+ When creating digital content, it comes in handy to use a
46+ plaintext file. Markdown is an excellent format because
47+ it can easily be converted into HTML, which is the
48+ primary format consumed by web browsers.
49+
50+ This also encourages writers to use GitHub as their
51+ development site because it is more efficient,
52+ utilizing ` git ` to record the file's history. While
53+ Google Docs has a similar version tracking feature,
54+ ` git ` offers more robust version control capabilities.
55+
56+ Additionally, if you want to distribute your content as
57+ a hard copy, you can simply right-click the page in
58+ Google Chrome and select ` Print ` to generate a PDF
59+ version of your content. If you are creating content
60+ for another website, you can embed the page, and your
61+ job is done. You have the repository as the active site
62+ for development, potentially with collaboration from
63+ others, and the GitHub Pages generated page as the
64+ output.
65+
66+ If you need a Google Docs or Microsoft Word version of
67+ your content, you can copy the rendered Markdown file
68+ from GitHub and paste it into Google Docs or Microsoft
69+ Word, and the format will generally remain correct with
70+ some minor adjustments.
71+
72+ As you can see, using GitHub Pages is very practical.
