There is a significant amount of subtle, yet precisely calibrated, styling to ensure that your content is emphasized while still looking aesthetically pleasing.
All links are easy to
[locate and discern]({{ site.baseurl | uri_escape }}),
yet don't detract from the
[harmony of a paragraph]({{ site.baseurl | uri_escape }}).
The _same_ goes for italics and __bold__ elements.
Even the the strikeout works if <del>for some reason you need to update your post</del>.
For consistency's sake, <ins>The same goes for insertions</ins>, of course.
### Code, with syntax highlighting
Here's an example of some ruby code with line anchors.
{% highlight ruby lineanchors %}
# The most awesome of classes
class Awesome < ActiveRecord::Base
include EvenMoreAwesome
validates_presence_of :something
validates :email, email_format: true
def initialize(email, name = nil)
self.email = email
self.name = name
self.favorite_number = 12
puts 'created awesomeness'
end
def email_format
email =~ /\S+@\S+\.\S+/
end
end
{% endhighlight %}
Here's some CSS:
{% highlight css %}
.foobar {
/* Named colors rule */
color: tomato;
}
{% endhighlight %}
Here's some JavaScript:
{% highlight js %}
var isPresent = require('is-present')
module.exports = function doStuff(things) {
if (isPresent(things)) {
doOtherStuff(things)
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
Here's some HTML:
{% highlight html %}
<div class="m0 p0 bg-blue white">
<h3 class="h1">Hello, world!</h3>
</div>
{% endhighlight %}
# Headings!
They're responsive, and well-proportioned (in `padding`, `line-height`, `margin`, and `font-size`).
They also heavily rely on the awesome utility, [BASSCSS](http://www.basscss.com/).
##### They draw the perfect amount of attention
This allows your content to have the proper informational and contextual hierarchy.
Yay.
### There are lists, too
* Apples
* Oranges
* Potatoes
* Milk
1. Mow the lawn
2. Feed the dog
3. Dance
### Images look great, too

### There are also pretty colors
Also the result of
[BASSCSS](http://www.basscss.com/),
you can
<span class="bg-dark-gray white">highlight</span>
certain components of a
<span class="red">post</span>
<span class="mid-gray">with</span>
<span class="green">CSS</span>
<span class="orange">classes</span>.
I don't recommend using blue, though. It looks like a
<span class="blue">link</span>.
### Footnotes!
Markdown footnotes are supported, and they look great!
Simply put e.g. `[^1]` where you want the footnote to appear,[^1] and then add the reference at the end of your markdown.
### Stylish blockquotes included
You can use the markdown quote syntax, `>` for simple quotes.
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Suspendisse quis porta mauris.
However, you need to inject html if you'd like a citation footer.
I will be working on a way to hopefully sidestep this inconvenience.
<blockquote>
<p>Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.</p>
<footer><cite title="Antoine de Saint-Exupéry">Antoine de Saint-Exupéry</cite></footer>
</blockquote>
### There's more being added all the time

Happy writing.
