This is a comprehensive test post to verify all markdown features are rendering correctly with the new styling system.

Headings Hierarchy

This document tests all heading levels from H1 through H6.

Heading Level 3

This is a level 3 heading with important content below.

Heading Level 4

Used for subsections within major sections.

Heading Level 5

For fine-grained organization.

Heading Level 6

The smallest heading level, styled in uppercase for distinction.

Text Formatting

This paragraph demonstrates bold text, italic text and bold and italic together. You can also use inline code within paragraphs to reference code or commands.

The styling uses a 20px base font with 1.75 line height for readability on all devices.

Lists

Unordered Lists

  • First item with coral markers
  • Second item with important information
  • Third item with a nested list:
    • Nested item one
    • Nested item two
    • Nested item three
  • Back to main level

Ordered Lists

  1. First step in a sequence
  2. Second step with details
  3. Third step with sub-steps:
    • Sub-step
    • Sub-step
    • Sub-step
      1. ordered sub-sub-step
      2. ordered sub-sub-step
      3. ordered sub-sub-step
      4. ordered sub-sub-step
  4. Fourth and final step

Blockquotes

This is a blockquote with the new coral border styling and sand background. It should be rendered in Lora serif font at 22px for elegant quotation display.

Multiple paragraphs in blockquotes are supported. Each paragraph maintains the warm, inviting aesthetic.

Links

Test different link styles:

Links should display in choir-blue with a 2px underline that has 4px offset. Hovering should change the underline to coral color.

Code Blocks

Inline Code

You can use inline code within paragraphs like this example with a peach-tint background.

Code Blocks

// This is a code block with dark background
function greetChoir(name) {
  return `Welcome to Chichester Community Choir, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greetChoir("Sarah"));
/* CSS code block example */
.choir-member {
  enthusiasm: 100%;
  voice: beautiful;
  harmony: perfect;
}

Tables

PartVoice RangeDifficultyStatus
SopranoC4-A5MediumLearning
AltoG3-D5EasyLearned
TenorC3-G4HardLearning
BassE2-E4MediumLearned

Tables should have choir-blue-dark headers with coral bottom borders, alternating row colors on hover, and responsive overflow for mobile devices.

Horizontal Rules

The horizontal rule above should use coral color at 30% opacity with 3px thickness and generous spacing (48px margins).

  • Touch targets: 48×48px minimum for interactive elements
  • Color contrast: All combinations exceed WCAG AA 4.5:1 ratio
