While viewing the headings for the action section in monster stat blocks, I came across this problem. When an action can be used in either two or more options (such as the silver dragon's breath weapon options), the headings for the options match the headings for additional regular actions following it, and thus it is impossible to tell where the options end and the other actions start again. Obviously at a closer glance these divisions become obvious, but the point of D&D Beyond is as a quick reference tool at the table, and formatting such as this take precious time away from the game. Please indent or fix the size and/or font of certain headings in monster stat blocks or just more closely resemble the stat blocks in the Monster Manual, their format is great and easy to reference!

Good spot. I agree, this is hard to parse at a glance. Indenting options like that would help.
I would be fine if they just used the exact same layout as from the Monster Manual, except insert hyperlinks wherever a game mechanic or spell is referenced.

Great suggestion, fixing the layout and normalizing the headings to match the stat blocks in other sources is likely a good path to take.
