531-537: Use consistent component name inside the caption.
SerialPort(no space) in the table caption deviates from “Serial Port” used everywhere else. In our docs each component name has been written with a space (e.g., “TriState buffer” vs “TriState”). Please align for consistency.-Table 4.25: Brief description of the SerialPort circuit element ports +Table 4.25: Brief description of the Serial Port circuit element ports
546-549: Switch*to-to satisfy markdown-lint MD004.
Other unordered lists in this file use the dash style. Keeping one style prevents needless lint noise.-* The **TX** pin sends a new 8-bit value when it changes. The component avoids re-sending the same value to reduce traffic. -* The **RX** pin gets updated with the latest byte received from the serial stream. -* Internally, a reader reads the stream asynchronously and pushes the value to RX. +- The **TX** pin sends a new 8-bit value when it changes.

595-606: Unify bullet style & tighten wording.
Lines 603-605 use a mix of dash and star styles. Adopt one style (dash) and remove the leading emoji from unsupported browsers row to keep markup parse-friendly.- - ✅ **Supported:** Chromium-based browsers such as **Google Chrome**, **Microsoft Edge**, and **Opera**. - - ❌ **Not Supported:** **Mozilla Firefox**, **Apple Safari**, and other non-Chromium browsers. + - **Supported:** Chromium-based browsers such as **Google Chrome**, **Microsoft Edge**, and **Opera**. + - **Not supported:** **Mozilla Firefox**, **Apple Safari**, and other non-Chromium browsers.
569-593: Minor C++ style nits in the sketch (optional).
• Useconst bytefor pin numbers to save SRAM.
• Preferuint8_tforreceivedByteto emphasise the 0-255 domain.No change required for docs unless you want to show “best practice” code.

19-20: Anchor text looks good – nothing to fix here.
The TOC entry correctly points to#serial-portand keeps sequential numbering.
558-564: Assets Verified – No Broken Image Links
Both referenced images are present under the static assets directory and will resolve correctly at/img/img_chapter4/....• static/img/img_chapter4/4.25.png
