Kitchen sink: how every element looks

This sample post shows how each theme handles the elements a technical blog uses most. Body text should be comfortable to read for several minutes, with inline code that stands out without shouting, and links that are easy to spot.

A second-level heading

Paragraphs need room to breathe. Most of a post is plain prose, so the line length, size and spacing of body text matter more than anything else on the page.^[1]

Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.

— Edsger W. Dijkstra

A third-level heading

Here is some code:

use std::collections::HashMap;

fn word_counts(text: &str) -> HashMap<&str, usize> {
    let mut counts = HashMap::new();
    for word in text.split_whitespace() {
        *counts.entry(word).or_insert(0) += 1;
    }
    counts
}

And a shell one-liner:

zola serve --drafts

Lists and tables

• Unordered lists for loose collections
• Ordered lists when sequence matters
• Nested items when you must:
  • but sparingly

1. Write the post
2. Read it out loud
3. Cut a third of it

That’s everything. The footnote below shows how the theme handles footnotes.
