PORT TOWNSEND, WA—Article begins here and goes on for many paragraphs.
(City, State, in caps and immediately followed by an em dash, without spaces on either side; article begins immediately after em dash.)

N.B. Ad banners will appear after the fifth paragraph.

Sub-heads (1 line) / Pull quotes (multiple lines): H2 headline is "## followed by a space" and needs a carriage return after it to separate it from other text.

Smaller sub-headlines are three pound signs ###, followed by a space.

"Pull quote can only be done by selecting text and clicking on the quote icon twice. Some text can be put in boldface or underlined. The entire quote should be preceded and ended with quotation marks."

(Dividers (seen above) can be generated by "/hr")

  • Bullets points can be done by typing the * and a space. And carriage returns create more bullets...
  • ...which is cool.
    • Hit tab to indent bullets, too!

Toggle Header are for when you have lots of content

However, the toggle box can't do headlines with H1, H2, etc.

N.B. You can't collapse this box in on a draft page—you can only see it by previewing it online.

But you can simulate headers by putting text in boldface.

  • You can also add bullet points, too.
This is a "Callout box" which has a set number of background colors, but you can do boldface text in it. As with toggle Headers, you can't do headlines with H1, H2. The emoji is optional and entirely configurable.
