Since pages were looking too cluttered with horizontal rules at the top, I took some steps to reduce this clutter. First, I removed the H2 heading for the introduction section in member-submitted pages. Second, I changed the notice that sometimes appears at the top of a page to a paragraph with the notice class instead of text with a horizontal rule above and below it.

To prevent the H1-H6 styles from being used in the wrong place, I limited these styles to headings with an article, or a section within an article, as the immediate parent. In other contexts, such as comments, footers, nav bars, or tables, these styles will not be used. They may be used in comments by enclosing them in an appropriate parent element, like so:

Heading One: Centered

Heading Two: Facsimile of Horizontal Rule

This is done with a border bottom, not a real horizontal rule. Unlike underlining, the line is not broken up by descenders in letters.

Heading Three: Normal

Heading Four: Italics

Heading Five: Small-Caps with Overline and Underline

Because small-caps are more compact, they are used for lower headings rather than for higher ones. The use of horizontal lines parallels the use of a horizontal line in the second heading. Because small-caps all have the same height, words have a more straight appearance, which works better with the overline. Because they have no descenders, the lower line does not get broken up.

Heading Six: Small-Caps

Like the change from heading two to heading three, heading six omits the lines used in the heading just above it.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
