[Last 2 features combined into a single pull request]
Key Points discussed:
- Improvements for Paragraph structure
-
- Add line numbers before each paragraph in the list (would require further discussion as the TinyMCE editor does not provide line numbering. Also, the editor is responsive, so the line numbers will change based on the user’s device and display resolution).
- Feedback for Content Analysis
-
- Add real time content analysis by moving each item from the Content Analysis section to the actual field in Article Edit View.
- UI Improvements
-
- Add more colours/icons where relevant under SEO tab.
- Highlight keywords, numbers.
- Extend all the Paragraph Structure improvement suggestions to Sentence Structure too. These include
-
- Sorting by sentence length
- Displaying the total count of long sentences
- Line numbering feature (to be decided)

The additional suggestions will be considered towards the end, based on time availability, after the core features have been completed.
