A Markdown Showcase

This post exists to stress the content styles.

Typography

Body text sits at 18 px on the system font stack. Bold, italic, strikethrough, and inline code all have their place. Links like this one are underlined with an offset.

Blockquote

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Lists

1. First things first
2. Then this
   • With a nested point
   • And another
3. Finally this

Code

/// Count words the cheap way.
fn word_count(text: &str) -> usize {
    text.split_whitespace().count()
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", word_count("papermood keeps it simple"));
}

A table

Horizontal rule

That line above is a thematic break.

Task list

• Port the design
• Write the components
• Translate every post

Footnotes

Accent renders reference-style footnotes¹. The definitions collect at the bottom of the page, each with a return link².

Definition list

Accent

A markdown CMS written in Rust.

Papermood

This theme. A PaperMod translation for Accent.

Superscript and subscript

Water is H₂O, and the area of a circle is πr².

Smart punctuation

Straight quotes become curly – “like this” and ‘this’ – and dashes and ellipsis come out typographically… The quote forms follow the page language, so the German translation gets its own conventions.

Heading attributes

The heading above declares its own anchor id, #custom-anchor, in the source: ## Heading attributes { #custom-anchor }.

Admonitions

GFM-style blockquote alerts. Five types, each with its own color:

Wiki links

Link to a page by its title: Getting Started with Papermood. Add your own display text with a pipe: the diagrams tour. The linked pages show this post under “Pages linking here”.
