Thanks for your initial work on this! This page needs quite a bit of reformatting to fit with other parts of the book. For the list of rules, you could make a table or a bulleted list like here:

For the examples, you should make a numbered list formatted like the ones on this page:

Thanks! I did the reformatting on this, but I will give you credit for your work getting it setup!
