Hello, Markdown.

This is a style test: one post exercising every Markdown element the blog supports. If you are writing a new post, duplicate this file and replace the content.

Text basics

Regular paragraphs, bold text, italic text, both, strikethrough, inline code, and links all work.

Blockquotes look like this. Useful for callouts and quoting smarter people than yourself.

Lists

Unordered:

  • First item
  • Second item
  • Third item

Ordered:

  1. Do the thing
  2. Check the thing
  3. Ship the thing

Checklist:

  • Write the post
  • Publish the post

Code

Inline SELECT * FROM orders sits inside sentences. Tagged fences get Dracula highlighting:

SELECT id, total
FROM orders
WHERE user_id = 42
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 50;
npm run build && npm test

Untagged fences render plain:

just some text
in a box

Images

Cover illustration for the Markdown style test

Store images under public/ (for example public/kitchen-sink/cover.svg) and reference them with a leading slash. They get rounded corners and a border automatically.


That’s every element. Happy writing.
