formatting
Formatting, in the context of computers and digital technology, refers to the process of preparing a storage device for use, often by setting up an initial file system. This involves eradicating all existing data on the storage device. In the context of document creation, formatting refers to the way content is arranged on a page, including aspects such as font face, font size, color, paragraph alignment, line spacing, margins, and more. Therefore, the concept of formatting is generally about structuring or arranging elements to suit a specific purpose or requirement.
