January 2026: Improved documentation accuracy for XHTML parsing behavior in MDN Content. Implemented a targeted doc update clarifying that the <pre> element preserves a leading newline under XML/XHTML syntax (as per XML-based HTML parsing), and explicitly differentiates this from HTML syntax rules. This aligns docs with the actual parser behavior and reduces developer confusion when working with XHTML.

December 2024: Delivered a documentation update clarifying Vim's terminal color handling. Updated the standard SGR format for true color and clarified that colons (not semicolons) are used in escape sequences to set foreground and background colors, aligning docs with current terminal emulator support. No code changes landed; the effort improves developer onboarding and reduces support friction.
