 Console support in Godot
 ========================
 
+Console porting process
+-----------------------
+
+In order to develop for consoles in Godot, you need access to the console SDK and
+export templates for it. These export templates need to be developed either by
+yourself or someone hired to do it, or provided by a third party company.
+
+Currently, the only console Godot officially supports is Steam Deck (through the 
+official Linux export templates). 
+
+The reason other consoles are not officially supported are:
+
+- To develop for consoles, one must be licensed as a company.
+  As an open source project, Godot has no legal structure to provide console ports.
+- Console SDKs are secret and covered by non-disclosure agreements.
+  Even if we could get access to them, we could not publish the platform-specific 
+  code under an open source license.
+  
+As explained, however, it is possible to port your games to consoles thanks to 
+services provided by third-party companies.
+
+.. note::
+
+    In practice, the process is quite similar to Unity and Unreal Engine. In other
+    words, there is no engine that is legally allowed to distribute console export
+    templates without requiring the user to prove that they are a licensed console
+    developer.

-Official support
-----------------
-
-Godot supports the Linux-based Steam Deck. The reason other consoles are not
-officially supported are:
-
-- To develop for consoles, one must be licensed as a company.
-  As an open source project, Godot does not have such a legal figure.
-- Console SDKs are secret and covered by non-disclosure agreements.
-  Even if we could get access to them, we could not publish
-  the platform-specific code under an open source license.
-- Consoles require specialized hardware to develop for, so regular individuals
-  can't create games for them anyway.

-However, it is still possible to port your games to consoles thanks to services
-provided by third-party companies.

-
-    In practice, the process is quite similar to Unity and Unreal Engine, except
-    that you need to contact a third-party developer to handle the porting
-    process. In other words, there is no engine that is legally allowed to
-    distribute console export templates without requiring the user to prove that
-    they are a licensed console developer. Doing so would violate the console
