Long Markdown Test Post

This is a long test post for my blog bake script. It includes a lot of different Markdown features so I can see how everything looks when rendered into HTML and stored in SQLite.

It should help me test:

  • typography
  • spacing
  • heading hierarchy
  • links
  • blockquotes
  • code formatting
  • list styling
  • table styles
  • image display
  • raw HTML support
  • tag pills
  • summary rendering
  • date formatting

A normal paragraph with some formatting

This paragraph includes bold text, italic text, bold italic, inline code, and a regular link.

Here is another sentence with a longer link to see wrapping behavior in the content column: Visit the CommonMark project website for Markdown standardization details.

You can also test line wrapping with a very long sentence that keeps going to see how your blog handles readable line length, hyphenation (if enabled), and general paragraph rhythm when the text spans multiple lines on desktop and mobile screens.

Heading hierarchy test

H1 inside content (rare, but testing)

H2 section

H3 subsection

H4 minor heading

H5 tiny heading
H6 smallest heading

If your CSS styles headings differently, this section helps confirm spacing and font sizing are consistent.
