Markdown style guide

This post shows how each markdown element renders, so you can check the typography on whatever device you read on.

Text

Plain paragraphs are the heart of it. Italics for titles and emphasis, bold for the rare moment that needs weight, and inline code for file names and commands. Links are underlined so they stay visible on grayscale e-ink screens.

Lists

An unordered list:

• Phones
• E-readers
• Anything with a browser

And an ordered one:

1. Write a markdown file
2. Rebuild
3. Read

A blockquote

The pleasure of reading on e-ink is that the page just sits there, perfectly still, asking nothing of you.

Code

function readingTime(words) {
  return Math.ceil(words / 220) + " min";
}

A table

Device	Screen	Feels like
Phone	OLED	A glossy page
E-reader	E-ink	Actual paper
Laptop	LCD	Work

A horizontal rule

That is everything. If it reads comfortably here, it will read comfortably in any post.
