Markdown Kitchen Sink Test

2026-02-15 • 2 min read

A single post with many Markdown components to validate rendering and spacing.

This post is a visual test for Markdown styles across the site.


Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Paragraph text with bold, italic, bold italic, strikethrough, inline code, and a standard link.

You can also include autolinks: https://example.com.

This is a blockquote.

It includes multiple lines.

And a nested blockquote.

Short quote.

This is a medium-length blockquote that spans enough words to show line wrapping and spacing.

This is a longer blockquote example intended to test how multi-line content feels with the vertical border treatment, line height, and paragraph rhythm in the current theme.

It includes a second paragraph to confirm spacing between quoted paragraphs and to make sure the left border still reads clearly when the quote is longer than a single block.

“Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.”

— Edsger W. Dijkstra
