Lists

Unordered List

  • First item with a longer explanation
  • Second item containing inline code
    • Nested sublist entry one
    • Nested sublist entry two
      • Deeply nested content here
  • Third final item

Ordered List

  1. Alpha entry with bold text
  2. Beta entry with italic emphasis
  3. Gamma entry that spans multiple lines of text and continues reading naturally
  4. Delta entry as the last one

Definition List

Term One : Definition for the first term, explaining its meaning in detail. Term Two : Definition for the second term, which is shorter than the first. Term Three : Definition three : With a second paragraph of definition text.

Blockquotes

This is a simple blockquote with a single paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Nested Blockquote

The first level of nesting in a blockquote.

Here is a nested deeper quote showing the double angle bracket pattern.

And one more level deep with triple angle brackets.

Blockquote with Citation

All things being equal, the best system is the one that maximizes utility and minimizes suffering. — Author Name, Famous Book Title

Multiple Blockquotes

First quote demonstrates citation formatting.

Second standalone blockquote shows paragraph breaks without inline citations.

Code Blocks

Inline code: const x = 42;

// JavaScript code block example
function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}

console.log(fibonacci(10)); // Output: 55

/* CSS code block example */
.post-list {
  display: grid;
  gap: 2rem;
  list-style: none;
}

.post-list li a {
  text-decoration: none;
  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-primary);
}

<!-- HTML code block example -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Fenced Code with No Language

Just plain text in a fenced block.
No syntax highlighting applied.
This is useful for terminal output or logs.
