This post exists to show what the template does with words. Every element below is rendered from plain markdown — no HTML, no custom components. If something looks wrong, fix the CSS, not the content.

Headings

Heading One

Heading Two

Heading Three

Heading Four

Heading Five

Heading Six

Body text

Regular paragraph text should be comfortable to read at length. The line length is capped, the line height gives room to breathe, and the serif keeps things grounded. Bold is used for emphasis, italic for tone or titles, and bold italic when both are needed. Strikethrough is available but rarely the right call.

A second paragraph. Spacing between paragraphs matters as much as the text itself. Too tight and reading feels rushed. Too loose and the piece loses cohesion.

Links

An inline link looks like this. External links should get the ↗ indicator automatically. An internal link should not.

Blockquote

The best writing is rewriting.

Inline code and code blocks

Use backticks for inline code references like npm install or variable names like siteConfig.

A fenced block with syntax:

interface SiteConfig {
  url: string;
  title: string;
  author: string;
  recentPosts: number;
}

export const siteConfig: SiteConfig = {
  url: "https://muul.amitkul.in",
  title: "Muul",
  author: "Amit K",
  recentPosts: 8,
};

A plain block without a language:

This has no syntax highlighting.
It renders in monospace all the same.

Lists

Unordered:

• First item
• Second item
  • Nested under second
  • Another nested item
• Third item

Ordered:

1. Start here
2. Then here
3. End here
   1. Nested numbered
   2. Another

Table

Horizontal rule

Three dashes create a thematic break:

Mark / highlight

Markdown doesn’t have a standard highlight syntax, but if your renderer supports it: ==highlighted text== uses the <mark> element, which Oat styles with a warm yellow tint.

Footnotes

Writing often benefits from a footnote¹ rather than a long parenthetical that interrupts the flow of the sentence.

Small and muted text

HTML is valid inside markdown when needed:

This is small text — useful for captions, credits, or legal boilerplate.

What’s not here

Math (LaTeX), diagrams (Mermaid), and callout blocks are Obsidian-specific extensions and are not part of this template’s scope. If you need them, add the appropriate Astro integration.
