Headings#

The hero <h1> above came from the title. Lower-level headings below should each get an anchor mark on hover.

Heading 3#

Heading 4#

Heading 5#
Heading 6#

Paragraphs and inline formatting#

This is a paragraph with bold, italics, bold-italic, strikethrough, inline code, and a link to the index. External links like Anthropic get an “open in new tab” icon and the right rel attributes.

Auto-linked URLs work too: https://example.com.

Blockquotes#

Quotes are styled with a left border and a subtle background tint.

They can span multiple paragraphs and contain inline formatting, code, and links.

Nested blockquotes also work:

Hardbreak vs soft break#

Soft break (newline in source, single space in HTML) keeps a paragraph flowing. This line should be in the same paragraph as the previous.

Hardbreak (two trailing spaces) creates a <br>:
This line should appear on its own line under the previous.
