Hello World: A Placeholder Post

This is placeholder prose for a sample blog post. It exists to prove that the blog pipeline renders markdown correctly. Replace it with real writing later.

Markdown features

You can write italic, bold, and inline code. Links work too, for example the Astro docs.

A few list items:

An ordered list:

  1. Step one
  2. Step two
  3. Step three

A code block

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("world"));

A blockquote

This is a placeholder blockquote. It uses the muted styling from the global stylesheet, so it inherits the right color in both light and dark mode.

An inline image

The image below is a small placeholder PNG served from public/blog/. If it renders, image support in the blog pipeline is working:

That’s the end of the placeholder content. Everything above is sample text.
