<h3>Post guidelines</h3>
<details><summary>Title format</summary><p>Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
</p></details>
<details><summary>URL format</summary><p>Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
</p></details>
<details><summary>[Opinion] prefix</summary><p>Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.
</p></details>
<details><summary>Country prefix</summary><p>Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (<code>|</code>, <code>:</code>, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.
