“Hanging punctuation” is really nice.
Unfortunately it’s only supported in Safari on iOS and macOS.
“Does it work after line breaks,” or just at the block start?

Horizontal rules, too!

Math

There’s inline math: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, and block math:

60 \, \frac{\textrm{seconds}}{\textrm{minute}} \cdot 60 \, \frac{\textrm{minutes}}{\textrm{hour}} = 3,600 \, \frac{\textrm{seconds}}{\textrm{hour}}

\frac{ \Delta \, \Gamma, e : \forall (u :: \kappa). \tau \qquad \Delta \vdash c :: \kappa }{ \Delta \, \Gamma \vdash e[c] : [c/u]\tau }

Typing rule for ∀ types

\frac{ \Delta, u :: \kappa \vdash c :: \kappa’ }{ \Delta \vdash \lambda(u :: \kappa). \, c :: \kappa \to \kappa’ }\;(\texttt{lambda-kind}) \quad \frac{ \Delta, u :: \kappa \vdash c :: * }{ \Delta \vdash \forall(u :: \kappa). \, c :: * }\;(\texttt{forall-kind})

Kind rules for two type constructors in System F_ω. This text is long enough that it wraps on some screens.

This caption will be forcibly left-aligned.

\frac{ \Delta, u :: \kappa_1 \vdash c_2 :: \kappa_2 \qquad \Delta \vdash c_1 :: \kappa_1 }{ \Delta \vdash (\lambda(u :: \kappa_1). \, c_2)(c_1) \equiv [c_1/u]c_2 :: \kappa_2 } \quad \frac{ \Delta, u :: \kappa_1 \vdash c_2 :: \kappa_2 \qquad \Delta \vdash c_1 :: \kappa_1 }{ \Delta \vdash (\lambda(u :: \kappa_1). \, c_2)(c_1) \equiv [c_1/u]c_2 :: \kappa_2 } \quad \frac{ \Delta, u :: \kappa_1 \vdash c_2 :: \kappa_2 \qquad \Delta \vdash c_1 :: \kappa_1 }{ \Delta \vdash (\lambda(u :: \kappa_1). \, c_2)(c_1) \equiv [c_1/u]c_2 :: \kappa_2 } \\ \quad \\ \frac{ \Delta \, \Gamma, e : \forall (u :: \kappa). \tau \qquad \Delta \vdash c :: \kappa }{ \Delta \, \Gamma \vdash e[c] : [c/u]\tau } \quad \frac{ \quad }{ (\Lambda u. \, e)[\tau] \mapsto [\tau / u]e }

Common list structure

Is to have a bold title of the list, with some body text on the same bullet point (multiple paragraphs). The text in the “body” wraps onto multiple lines.
Pandoc implementation

For this technique, the top-level list items have to be separated by new lines. That’s what gets Pandoc to put paragraph tags in the list item bodies.

Code blocks

Ah yes, who could forget about the code blocks.

# typed: true
require 'sorbet-runtime'

class A
  extend T::Sig

  sig {void}
  def self.main
    puts "Hello, world!"
  end
end

Here is a short paragraph between code blocks.

# This is a really long line that causes the text to wrap onto multiple lines in a code block that uses syntax highlighting AND line numbers.

puts 'It should also work without line numbers.'

# This is a really long line that causes the text to wrap onto multiple lines in a code block that uses syntax highlighting BUT NOT line numbers.

Check out the subtle line numbers. This is some inline code with text after it.

This code does not have a language associated with it. This is the point at which the code would wrap a long line.

This code block has an absolutely large amount of text in it for who knows what reason. Who is the kind of heathen who would willfully write code with lines this long?

Scroll → all the way to the left to double check that this line highlight works.

← A current limitation is that `.wide` + `.numberLines` causes the line numbers to
be hidden.

This is the code block’s caption. Like many of the other captions on the page, it has a lot of text in it so that it’s forced to wrap eventually.

This is the text after the fig caption. How is the gap between the figcaption and this text?

F
Plain code block, no div.sourceCode, but it's wide so the text might wrap around a bit further than code is normally expected to.

Block quotes

Block quote, right under heading.

A paragraph after the block quote separates it from the second block quote on the page.

This block quote uses bold text and italic text in line one.
It also uses small caps and bold small caps in line two.
It also uses underlined text and linked text and inline code text in line three.

The fun thing about markdown versus Dropbox Paper is that you can have lists in block quotes:

Colored notes

There are inline highlights, with various colors:

This is some Red text.
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple

If you want you can also use HTML that’s a little more semantic:
the HTML mark tag.

There are also single-element, colored tables, which get treated as colored notes.

🛑 Look before you leap!

⚠️ This is a warning!

Hopefully this could just fall out if tables work well?

✅ Success! The deed is now done.

Feel free to retry whatever it is you were trying to do.

ℹ️ Consecutive notes are like consecutive tables.

🔮 Can you see into the future?

Might make sense to do these in terms of like divs but for now they’re tables.

Side notes

Markdown footnotes become side notes.Is the beginning aligned?
Is the beginning aligned?

Versus sup.¹ It would be neat to associate a range of text with a footnote, rather than a single point. The second side note baseline will not line up. If we wrap this third line all the way around, we can see how it behaves for longer lines as well. First: 1^st

Markdown footnotes become side notes.⊕This is a margin note without a number. It spans just a few lines. Maybe it gets to three?

After the note. It would be neat to associate a range of text with a footnote, rather than a single point. This is longer text to give the paragraph some heft to it, so that the side note doesn’t feel overpowering.

After the note. It would be neat to associate a range of text with a footnote, rather than a single point. The second side note baseline will not line up. If we wrap this third line all the way around, we can see how it behaves for longer lines as well.

Markdown footnotes become side notes.⊕In this margin note, we’ve got quite a bit of text. It spans multiple so many lines that even in the Pandoc markdown source it spans multiple lines.

It can have line breaks too. This should be a test of what happens when the margin note is more lines than the paragraph it’s commenting on.

After the note. This paragraph is not short, but the margin note next to us is much longer, which pushes the subsequent notes further away from their anchor. But also, footnotes.¹

Without doing anything else,This side note attaches to a blockquote. Why would that be any different? Not sure. We reset the font-style and that’s it.

side notes that attach to text inside a block quote would magically become italic, because they’d inherit the styles of the surrounding block quote. Luckily, we have a test for this case, and that does not to happen because we fixed it.

Images

We can also handle images:

Sugarloaf Hill, San Mateo, CA, April 2021

This is some text after the image. The interesting thing is that the presence of a caption pushes the following paragraph down. For example, here’s an image without a caption:

Notice how the text after the image resumes further away, instead of being close to the image.

We can also do extra wide and full width images:

Sugarloaf Hill, San Mateo, CA. Left: April 2021, right: June 2021

Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir, near Belmont, CA

And some text after the extra wide image. There’s currently a bug making it so that this text isn’t as tight as text for non-extra-wide images because there’s an extra div around it. But maybe that’s actually a feature not a bug.

Tables

Column 1	Column 2
This is `some` text.	This is some text.
This is some text.	This is some text.

Column 1	Column 2
This is some text.	This is some text.
This is some text.	This is some text.

The wild thing is that this is as tight as the body text gets to the table.

Column 1	Column 2
This is some text.	This is some text.
This is some text.	This is some text.

This table has a caption.
Column 1	Column 2
This is some text.	This is some text.
This is some text.	This is some text.

We can also make tables become wider than the main text if there’s a lot of stuff in the table. They suffer the same “margin is too big” bug that extra wide images do.

The difference between `wide` and `extra-wide` is that extra-wide is the only one that will expand into the left **and** right columns.

Meanwhile, `wide` will expand past the right column when the center column is smaller than `--main-width`.
Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5
This is some text. This is some text.	This is some text. This is some text.	This is some text. This is some text.	This is some text. This is some text.	This is some text. This is some text.

This extra wide table also has a caption. It has quite a bit of text in the caption, so it wraps onto multiple lines when rendered at smaller screen sizes.

Maybe it would be nice to have some way to dynamically say how much extra space a table should take up, but for nowe we have only three break points: wide, extra-wide, and full-width.

We can use Pandoc’s fancy tables to make some columns wider:

Column 1	Column 2
This is a really wide column using pandoc’s fancy tables.	This is narrow.
This is a really wide column using pandoc’s fancy tables.	This is narrow.

This is some text

It spans multiple lines in one grid.

puts("Hello, world!)

This table cell is considerably longer than the first, which is a test of whether we are properly vertically aligning the content in the second column. By default, it seems like Chrome (maybe all browsers?) vertically align table content to the middle.

These kinds of tables are called grid tables. The nice thing is that you can make them span multiple lines, at the cost of being annnoying to reformat.

Use a prefix of {.} to leave it as a footnote. Unfortunately, side notes and margin notes don’t share the same namespace. If you want to mix side notes and footnotes in the same document, you might want to use margin notes, so that there is only one kind of numbered note.↩︎
