"Formatting Tips: Guiding Structure (Headings, Lists, Sections) in a Generated Document"

Structure comes from your instruction, not automatically

Left completely open-ended, a generated document will still be coherent — but if structure matters to you, it's worth asking for it directly. SoulrisAI's document generation reliably produces headings, numbered and bulleted lists, bold and italic emphasis, and even tables when you ask for them clearly, as part of a properly formatted PDF, not just as symbols in plain text.

Ask for headings explicitly

"Organize it with a heading for each topic we covered" or "use section headings" reliably produces a document broken into clear parts rather than one continuous block of text. If you already know the sections you want, naming them directly ("use the headings Introduction, Findings, and Conclusion") gets you even closer to what you pictured.

Use lists for anything sequential or itemized

If part of what you want is a set of steps, items, or options, say so: "list the steps as a numbered list" or "put these as bullet points." The AI follows this reliably when it's named directly in your instruction, rather than left for it to decide.

Tables, when they fit the content

If your conversation involved comparing a few things side by side, you can ask for a table directly — "put this comparison in a table" — and it will render as an actual table in the PDF, not just text pretending to be one.

Matching length to purpose

Be explicit about scope if you have one in mind: "keep it to one page" or "go into real depth, several pages if needed." Without this, the AI makes a reasonable judgment call based on how much there is to cover — which is usually right, but naming your expectation removes the guesswork.

Iterating on structure after the fact

If the first version isn't structured the way you wanted, you don't need to start the whole conversation over — just ask again, more specifically: "redo that with each point as its own heading instead of one long paragraph." See how to ask the AI to generate a document for how requesting a document works in the first place.

What doesn't carry over

Visual elements like images, charts, or custom colors and fonts aren't part of what a generated document includes — it's formatted, readable text (headings, lists, tables, emphasis), not a designed visual layout. If you need a visual alongside it, generate that separately — see how to generate your first AI image.
