This page exists to be looked at, not read. It renders every element the theme supports so that regressions are obvious after a change.
Headings and text
Body text sits on a constrained measure so long-form technical writing stays
readable. Bold text carries weight, italics less so, and inline code
sits inside prose without breaking the line rhythm.
A third-level heading
Links look like this one and a bare long URL must wrap rather than push the page sideways: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-service?view=powershell-7.4
A fourth-level heading
A fifth-level heading
Shell environments
The theme must not assume $ is the universal prompt. Three environments, all
equally native.
PowerShell:
Get-Service -Name 'W32Time' | Select-Object Status, StartType
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time' -Name Start -Value 2
Windows CMD:
ipconfig /all | findstr /i "DNS Servers"
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName
Bash:
systemctl status docker --no-pager
journalctl -u docker.service --since "1 hour ago" | tail -20
A shell session, where output should read differently from the command:
root@server:~# docker ps --format '{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}'
nginx-proxy-manager Up 2 hours (healthy)
grav Up 2 hours (healthy)
Configuration formats
services:
grav:
image: linuxserver/grav:latest
environment:
PUID: 1000
TZ: Europe/Amsterdam
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:8080:80"
{
"log-driver": "json-file",
"log-opts": { "max-size": "10m", "max-file": "3" }
}
location / {
allow 2a02:2479:55:5400::1;
deny all;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
A deliberately long line, to prove a code block scrolls itself rather than the page:
docker run --rm -it --name a-very-long-container-name --network revproxy -e SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=value -v /root/docker/www/config:/config -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 linuxserver/grav:latest /bin/sh -c "echo this line is far wider than any phone screen"
Alerts
Note
Useful context that is not critical.
Tip
A shortcut worth knowing.
Important
Something you should not skip.
Warning
This one bites if ignored.
Caution
Doing this wrong causes damage.
A plain blockquote, for comparison:
Not every quotation is an alert. Sometimes it is just a quotation.
