This article offers a sample of basic Markdown syntax that can be used in Hugo content files, also it shows whether basic HTML elements are decorated with CSS in a Hugo theme.

Headings

The following HTML <h1>—<h6> elements represent six levels of section headings. <h1> is the highest section level while <h6> is the lowest.

H1

H2

H3

H4

H5

H6

Paragraph

Xerum, by which someone or something explains who endures labor. Something has arrived with pleasure, bringing delight and fulfillment, bearing burdens and suffering, or facing adversities with patience. It involves enduring difficulties for a greater cause, embracing challenges, and finding meaning in hardship. Is this what is meant?

Why do some suffer burdens while others do not? Is it a question of fate? Indeed, everything comes with a price, and one must face the core of existence, enduring struggles and embracing both joy and sorrow.

Is it so? Should one accept suffering as part of life, or is there an escape? Challenges exist, but through persistence and resilience, one can find a way forward.

Blockquotes

The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a footer or cite element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations.

Blockquote without attribution

Tiam, ad mint andaepu dandae nostion secatur sequo quae. Note that you can use Markdown syntax within a blockquote.

Blockquote with attribution

Don’t communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating.
