+# Document Formatting Act 2022
+
+This document outlines the required usage of the CommonMark Markdown specification within Arsenio Pact documents for the purpose of standardization.
+
+For information about the Markdown format not covered within the contents of this document, consult the [CommonMark Specification](https://spec.commonmark.org/).
+
+This document was written by members of the Anyakovan Institute of Technology (AKIT) to promote concise writing & easy dissemination of legal material to the public.
+
+## Motivation
+
+There is an unnecessary overhead for auditors of the Arsenio Pact's documents, and a simple, foolproof standard would greatly improve the archival process.
+
+Markdown is a good compromise between functionality & ease of use; it is readable as both plaintext or parsed in a variety of formats, namely HTML, PDF, or ODT.
+
+The CommonMark specification is an ideal default specification to adhere to, due to its barebones feature set and loose formatting.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The Arsenio Pact & its member states must do the following:
+
++ Write all future documents in the CommonMark Markdown specification.
+  + Documents must use the `.md`, `mkdn`, `.mdown`, or `.markdown` file extensions.
+  + Documents must not use unsupported extensions of the Markdown format that are not present within CommonMark. This is especially important when converting documents using GFM (Github Flavoured Markdown).
+  + For compatibility, documents must not contain inline HTML.
++ Convert all previous documents to Markdown.
+
+Additionally, writers are encouraged (but not required) to do the following:
+
++ Use a proper CommonMark compatible editor, such as [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/), [Atom](https://atom.io/), [Adobe Brackets](https://brackets.io/), or [MOME](markdown.pioul.fr/).
++ Use a Markdown Linter, such as [vscode-markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint).
+
+### Applicable Documents
+
+The usage of the term "official document" describes legislation, treaties, guidelines, and any other information intended for distribution to an administrative body.
+
+## Exemptions
+
+This law may be reevaluated to further extend the list of supported formats.
+Another format can be introduced if it adheres to the following:
+
++ Can be written without a compatible editor.
++ Can be quickly converted to HTML & PDF.
+
+Common examples of compatible text formats include `.textile`, `.rdoc`, `.org`, `.creole`, `.mediawiki`/`wiki`, `.rst`, `.asciidoc`/`adoc`/`asc`, & `.pod`.
