 ## Features
 
-- Formats release descriptions by:
+- **Text Cleanup:**
-  - Removing carriage returns and HTML comments.
+  - **Carriage Return Removal:** Automatically removes carriage return characters for clean formatting.
-  - Styling headers for better readability in Discord (optional).
+  - **HTML Comment Stripping:** Eliminates HTML comments to remove unnecessary information.
-  - Cleaning up redundant whitespace and newlines.
+  - **Whitespace Optimization:** Reduces redundant newlines and excess spaces while preserving proper paragraph spacing.
-  - Converting common GitHub links (e.g., PRs, Issues) into clickable URLs.
+- **Mention Conversion:** Converts GitHub mentions (e.g., `@username`) into clickable GitHub profile links for easy navigation.
-- Limits description length to avoid exceeding Discord's character limits.
+- **Markdown Link Conversion:**
-- Provides customization for the Discord message, including:
+  - **PR Links:** Converts pull request URLs into Markdown links (e.g., `[PR #1](https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/pull/1)`).
-  - Webhook URL, message color, footer text/icon, and timestamp.
+  - **Issue Links:** Converts issue URLs into Markdown links (e.g., `[Issue #1](https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/1)`).
-  - Username and avatar for the webhook.
+  - **Changelog Links:** Converts changelog comparison URLs into concise Markdown links (e.g., `[v1.0.0...v1.1.0](https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0)`).
-  - Optional message content outside the embed.
+- **Heading Reduction (Optional):** If enabled, it reduces heading sizes for a cleaner, more compact display:
+  - H3 headings are converted to bold and underlined.
+  - H2 headings are converted to bold.
+- **Description Length Management:** Ensures the release description fits within Discord's embed message limits (default 4096 characters), trimming excess text by cutting at newlines when possible or adding a continuation link.
+- **Custom Embed Appearance:**
+  - Set a custom color for the Discord embed message.
+  - Optionally include a custom footer with a title, icon, and a timestamp to make the notification more informative.
+- **Error Handling:** Provides clear error messages for any invalid or missing inputs, ensuring that the webhook action does not fail silently.
+- **Webhook Delivery:** Sends the formatted message to the specified Discord channel via webhook, ensuring your release notifications are promptly delivered with the correct details.
