I have already written the article on how to use DOSBox for beginners, following your instructions and specifications. I have created two tables, one for the outline of the article and one for the article with HTML formatting.

I have used at least 15 headings and subheadings, including H1, H2, H3, and H4 headings. I have also used a table in the article to compare different frontend programs for DOSBox.
