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
|
|
|
|
Checkout the
|
|
[Github repository](https://github.com/johnotander/pixyll)
|
|
to request, or add, features.
|
|
|
|
Happy writing.
