 # Sub-parts
 
-Use sub-parts to break a very long article in parts, without polluting the timeline with lots of small articles. Sub-parts are removed from timelines and categories, but remain in tag and author pages.
+Use the Sub-parts plugin to break a very long article in multiple parts, without polluting the timeline with lots of small articles. Sub-parts are removed from timelines and categories but remain in tag and author pages.
 
-## How to use
+## Usage
 
 Article sub-parts have a compound slug with the slug of the parent, two hyphens (`--`), and some identifier. For example, if an article has the slug `karate`, then an article with the slug `karate--medals` would be a sub-part.
 
 This convention is very convenient if the slug is derived from the filename. For example, define the filename metadata as follows:
 
-		FILENAME_METADATA = '(?P<slug>(?P<date>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})-[^.]+)
+    FILENAME_METADATA = '(?P<slug>(?P<date>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})-[^.]+)
 
 Then, it is enough to name the files correctly. In the following example, the first Markdown article has two sub-parts:
 
-		./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate.md
-		./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate--attendees.md
-		./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate--medals.md
+    ./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate.md
+    ./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate--attendees.md
+    ./content/blog/2015-03-21-karate--medals.md

 ## What is the difference between Sub-part and Series?
 
-Series
-:	Connects separate articles, but never removes articles from timelines. Series is adequate to relate articles spread over time. For example, a 10-part article written over several months, or a large festival with several independent performances.
+Series:	Connects separate articles, but never removes articles from timelines. Series is suited to connecting related articles that are published over time, e.g., a ten-part article written over several months, or a large festival with several independent performances.
 
-Sub-part
-:	Subordinates articles to each other, hiding sub-articles from timelines. Sub-parts is adequate to relate articles clustered together in time, where the sub-articles need the context of their parent article to be fully understood. For example, a 20-part photo gallery of a Karate competition, or coverage of a conference.
+Sub-part: Articles that are subordinate to each other, hiding sub-articles from timelines.

For example, a 20-part photo gallery of a karate competition, or coverage of a conference.
