Troubleshooting Tips

1. Alignment Issues: Content flows top to bottom, left to right. Add HTML label for odd-numbered items
2. Extra Padding: Place menu with most content first to set minimum height
3. Text Entry: Use keyboard shortcuts for pasting:
   • Mac: ⌘ + Shift + V
   • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + V

Common Fixes:

• Use minimum three equal signs/dashes for separators
• Press Return after each entry
• Avoid using spacebar for separation
• Check formatting marks for proper line breaks

For custom currency symbols, enter desired symbol with space before price to override defaults.
