This is a temporary post I can use to test the frameworks I’m using for this blog. Posts are rendered into html from markdown using Hugo.

H1

H2

H3

H4

H5

H6

Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:

Alt-H1

Alt-H2

Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.

Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

1. First ordered list item
2. Another item
3. Unordered sub-list.
4. Actual numbers don’t matter, just that it’s a number
5. Ordered sub-list
6. And another item.

You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we’ll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).

To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces. Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph. (This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)

• Unordered list can use asterisks
• Or minuses
• Or pluses

Here’s our logo (hover to see the title text):

Inline-style:

Reference-style:

Colons can be used to align columns.

Tables	Are	Cool
col 3 is	right-aligned	$1600
col 2 is	centered	$12
zebra stripes	are neat	$1

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don’t need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Markdown	Less	Pretty
Still	renders	nicely
1	2	3

Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.

This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let’s keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can put Markdown into a blockquote.

Three or more…

Hyphens

// Go provides built-in support for [base64
// encoding/decoding](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64).

package main

// This syntax imports the `encoding/base64` package with
// the `b64` name instead of the default `base64`. It'll
// save us some space below.
import b64 "encoding/base64"
import "fmt"

func main() {

    // Here's the `string` we'll encode/decode.
    data := "abc123!?$*&()'-=@~"

    // Go supports both standard and URL-compatible
    // base64. Here's how to encode using the standard
    // encoder. The encoder requires a `[]byte` so we
    // cast our `string` to that type.
    sEnc := b64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(data))
    fmt.Println(sEnc)

    // Decoding may return an error, which you can check
    // if you don't already know the input to be
    // well-formed.
    sDec, _ := b64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(sEnc)
    fmt.Println(string(sDec))
    fmt.Println()

    // format.
