...actually just two problems.

As far as I can tell, there is no obvious link to the Dev.To Editor's Guide which (really reads more like an "Author's Guide" and) is a supremely useful resource for when I forget how to format a liquid tag or something in a post. I think I had to discover for myself that you can embed Dev.To users and posts within your own posts and comments.
Embed a user with
{% user jess %}:or a post with
{% link awwsmm/getting-the-gist-of-java-15eg %}or even a specific comment with
{% devcomment 6hpe %}Yo dawg, I heard you like browsers.
There are also embeds for Twitter, Glitch, GitHub, Gist, and lots more. The ability to do this is really cool and I don't think I would have known about it if I hadn't stumbled across the Editor's Guide.

How do I do this?
Other people seem to know how to make a series of articles into a series of articles, but it's not in the Editor's Guide. Help!
Update:
Another thing I only just discovered: you can add a Table of Contents to the top of your post using inline anchors:
## TOC
* [Chapter 1](#chapter-1)
* [Chapter 2](#chapter-2)
* [Chapter 3](#chapter-3)
Top comments (9)
It's the little information icon on every post or comment you author?
I agree it could do with having a link somewhere common, like maybe the footer, but it's on the page contextually where it's needed.
Nice! But that's only how it appears on comments. On posts, it's different:
So I propose two things:
Good thoughts all around.
Holy crap that's how you do that.
A wholehearted "second" - even discovering "cover_image" was a little tricky. The message "just paste it into your editor" is only half the battle!
You can add a series to your posts by adding the
seriestag in the front matter of your post. For example:Just refer to the same series name to add the post to the series. Our great friend Ben here created an entire changelog for it.

Ah! I see! And in the V2 editor, you can click on the
...button at the top-right to open this window:This PR just got merged to help 🙂
Though I suspect it still may not be fully clear. We need to keep working on this.
Thanks, I learned the trick. :)
That actually showed me a lot of things I didn't know. Thanks!
