That was a strange error indeed, but I re-ran the build and it seemed to have fixed itself 🤷🏻

1. **Adopt FAIR-Compliant Practices**:
- Assign persistent identifiers to datasets and metadata.
- Use rich metadata that describe datasets thoroughly.

2. **Register Metadata**:
- Index metadata in searchable repositories to enhance discoverability.

3. **Implement Standards for Access and Interoperability**:
- Ensure retrieval protocols are open and free.
- Use FAIR-aligned vocabularies and knowledge representation languages.

4. **Provide Reuse Guidance**:
- Include detailed provenance information.
- Apply clear licenses for data usage.

5. **Collaborate with FAIR Partners**:
- Follow practices adopted by FORCE11, COPDESS, and similar organizations.

It is strange that the bulleted lists in the previous sections all are indented in the final product on the RtD page (which looks nice!) but these are not. I'm not sure why 🤔

I think it might be an issue with mixing ordered lists with unordered lists. When I indent the bullets more, I get the following markdown lint error MD007 Unordered list indentation
