This is a test post that covers every formatting element. If everything below renders correctly, the blog is ready for real writing.

Headings

The heading above is an H2. Here’s an H3:

This Is a Subheading

Regular paragraph text sits between headings with comfortable spacing.

Text Styles

This is bold text and this is italic text. You can also combine bold and italic when you really need to emphasize something.

Here’s some inline code in a sentence — useful for referencing variables or commands like hugo server.

Here’s a link to Hugo’s documentation to test anchor styling.

Blockquote

The best work happens in silence. Not the silence of inactivity — the silence of deep focus.

Lists

Unordered list:

  • First item in the list
  • Second item with more detail
  • Third item to complete the set

Ordered list:

  1. Plan the content
  2. Write the draft
  3. Review and publish

Code Block

hugo server -D
# starts local dev server with drafts enabled

Image — Inline

Here’s an image placed between paragraphs:

Test image

The text continues naturally after the image. This is how most images will appear in posts — between sections of writing.

Image — With Caption

Test image with caption
This is a captioned image — useful for screenshots and diagrams.

And here’s the paragraph that follows a captioned image.

Horizontal Rule

A divider between sections:

Everything Together

A final paragraph that wraps it all up. If this post renders with proper spacing, clean typography, working links, readable code, and well-placed images — the Batcave is ready.
