22-22: Hyphenate compound adjective for clarity.

Consider adding a hyphen to “Dutch-registered vehicles” to correctly form the compound adjective:

-The **RDW** {% term integration %} connects with the [RDW](https://www.rdw.nl) (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) open data service to retrieve and monitor information about your Dutch registered vehicles in Home Assistant.
+The **RDW** {% term integration %} connects with the [RDW](https://www.rdw.nl) (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) open data service to retrieve and monitor information about your Dutch-registered vehicles in Home Assistant.

26-26: Use “such as” instead of “like” for a more formal tone.

Replacing “like” with “such as” elevates the documentation style:

-With this integration, you can keep track of important vehicle information like periodic inspection (<abbr title="Algemene Periodieke Keuring">APK</abbr>) expiration dates, insurance status, and recall notifications directly in your Home Assistant dashboard.
+With this integration, you can keep track of important vehicle information such as periodic inspection (<abbr title="Algemene Periodieke Keuring">APK</abbr>) expiration dates, insurance status, and recall notifications directly in your Home Assistant dashboard.

93-93: Use inline code formatting for exact error messages.

Wrap the symptom text in backticks to distinguish it as a literal message:

-#### Symptom: "Unknown license plate"
+#### Symptom: `Unknown license plate`

79-81: Resolve repeated verb in Data updates

The term helper usage duplicates the verb ("polling polls"). Simplify it by using a single argument as suggested previously:

-The **RDW** integration {% term polling polls %} data from the RDW open database once an hour.
+The **RDW** integration {% term polling %} data from the RDW open database once an hour.

22-22: Refactor sentence for readability

The description on line 22 is quite long and mixes two separate ideas. Consider splitting it into two sentences to improve readability:

-The **RDW** {% term integration %} connects with the [RDW](https://www.rdw.nl) (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) open data service to retrieve and monitor information about your Dutch registered vehicles in Home Assistant. RDW is the government organization responsible for vehicle registration, licensing, supervision, and enforcement in the Netherlands.
+The **RDW** {% term integration %} connects with the [RDW](https://www.rdw.nl) (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) open data service. It retrieves and monitors information about your Dutch-registered vehicles in Home Assistant. RDW is the government organization responsible for vehicle registration, licensing, supervision, and enforcement in the Netherlands.

28-33: Streamline prerequisites for consistency

The prerequisites list is clear but can be more concise. For example:

-To use this integration, you need:
-
-1. A vehicle with Dutch registration (license plate)
-2. The license plate number of the vehicle you want to monitor
+To use this integration, you need:
+
+- A Dutch-registered vehicle
+- The vehicle’s license plate number (without spaces or dashes)

48-52: Title case for entity names

To keep naming consistent and match Home Assistant style, capitalize key terms:

- - **Liability insured**: Shows whether your vehicle has current liability insurance.
- - **Pending recall**: Indicates if your vehicle has an open recall notice that requires attention.
+ - **Liability Insured**: Shows whether your vehicle has current liability insurance.
+ - **Pending Recall**: Indicates if your vehicle has an open recall notice that requires attention.

53-57: Title case for sensor names

Align sensor names to title case for consistency:

- - **APK expiration**: The date when your vehicle's periodic technical inspection (APK) expires.
- - **Ascription date**: The date when your vehicle was registered to its current owner.
+ - **APK Expiration**: The date when your vehicle's periodic technical inspection (APK) expires.
+ - **Ascription Date**: The date when your vehicle was registered to its current owner.

24-26: Use case section improves clarity

The new "Use case" section clearly explains the benefits and potential automations for users. Well structured and informative.


35-40: Config flow inclusion and basic configuration

The {% include integrations/config_flow.md %} and the configuration_basic block correctly document the setup flow and required input. Good use of Home Assistant templates.


42-47: Supported functionality section is well laid out

The "Supported functionality" and "Entities" subsections clearly enumerate what this integration provides.


58-61: Examples section heading is clear

The "Examples" and subsequent automation title effectively guide the user through a practical use case.


62-77: Automation snippet is clear and correct

The YAML example is well-formatted, uses the correct entity ID pattern, and demonstrates a realistic automation scenario. Nice work!


83-85: Known limitations section is concise

This bullet succinctly communicates that only Dutch license plates are supported.


87-94: Troubleshooting section structure is solid

The symptom, description, and step-by-step resolution follow Home Assistant documentation patterns and will help users effectively diagnose issues.


101-102: Resolution steps are clear

The numbered resolution steps are actionable and easy to follow.


106-110: Removal instructions follow standard pattern

The "Removing the integration" section correctly references the standard removal procedure and includes the appropriate include file.
