== Using Beginner-Friendly Tooltips ==

Tooltips help beginners understand complex business terms without leaving the page.

=== Tooltip Syntax ===

<pre>
<span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Explanation goes here">Term</span>
</pre>

=== Examples ===

<pre>
The company's <span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Market Capitalization - The total value of a company's outstanding shares of stock">market cap</span> increased significantly.

The CEO implemented a <span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Mergers and Acquisitions - Transactions where companies combine or one company purchases another">M&A strategy</span> to expand market share.

The board approved <span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Restricted Stock Units - Company shares given to employees that vest over time">RSUs</span> as part of the compensation package.
</pre>

=== Common Terms to Define ===

Always add tooltips for these business terms when they first appear in an article:

* CEO, CFO, COO, CTO
* Market capitalization
* Revenue vs. profit
* EBITDA
* Stock options / RSUs
* Board of directors
* Shareholder
* IPO (Initial Public Offering)
* M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions)
* ROI (Return on Investment)
* Fiscal year
* Proxy statement
* SEC filings

== Using Styled Content Sections ==

Create visually appealing content sections using our pre-styled templates.

=== Standard Section ===

<pre>
<div class="ceo-section">
<div class="ceo-section-header">Section Title</div>
Content goes here with automatic styling including shadows, gradients, and proper spacing.
</div>
</pre>

=== Highlight Boxes ===

Use highlight boxes to draw attention to important information:

'''Info Box (Blue):'''
<pre>
<div class="highlight-box info">
Important information that helps readers understand context.
