Masses of Unstructured Text

The web is great - loads of information on every topic.  So what's the problem?

Masses of unstructured text!

Many "authors" just contribute solid paragraphs of text.  Some put their entire submission in just one paragraph!  No formatting; no white space!

Who wants to read everything?
Having to read entire articles on the chance of finding something useful is a daunting prospect.  Why can't people make an effort to structure their work?

Helpful Structure:
It's nice to use structure, headings, bullet points, etc.  Make it easy for the reader to find what they want, and to quickly understand what the article is about.
