How to read this file. Every link below whose target ends in `.md` is a clean markdown rendition of the page at the same URL without the suffix — fetch the `.md` and you get the prose without the navigation. Links WITHOUT `.md` are index and hub pages whose content is layout rather than a document; there is nothing to render for those, so they are given as HTML. This file covers the English edition. English lives at the domain root and the other twenty locales are path-prefixed (`/it/`, `/fr/`, …); each locale has its own `/{locale}/llms.txt`, and every page carries hreflang to its twenty siblings. The complete URL inventory, in all 21 languages, is the sitemap index at https://www.electe.net/sitemap.xml.
