content-related
'inhaltlich' and 'stilistisch' can both be important for texts, language, or art, but they refer to different aspects. 'inhaltlich' refers to what is being said: the topic, message, or arguments. 'stilistisch' refers to how something is said or designed: word choice, tone, or expression. Learners may confuse the words because the same text is often evaluated both in terms of content and stylistically. A simple way to remember it is: 'inhaltlich' = what, 'stilistisch' = how.
