<introEmbed body={<> Use a consistent format when writing addresses. The structure should follow: **Number, Street Name, City, State (abbreviation) Postal Code, Country** * Beware of the commas positioning (inexisting between **State** and **Postal Code**) * Don't use dashes, slashes, or bars to separate the elements (OK if it is in the **Street Name** part) * **Country** is not always necessary depending on the audience * If you have enough space, it is OK to write it in 2 lines * We're in Australia and this should work for most countries' addresses, but some specific locations might have different address structures that won't allow following this rule </>} />
