## 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.

As you can see, it's very practical.

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.

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.
