References section and examples

will work on

should I just hyperlink examples directly to the bullet point list (might look a bit strange if the entire list is hyperlinked but maybe the cleanest looking option?) with something like "click on a preferred file format to be directed to an example in Open Collections"

I was just thinking after each example you could just put "See example in Open Collections". Alternatively, you could create a list of examples of file formats in a separate section. Maybe try one or two and see if you like it? And abandon the idea if you don't think it helps?
