documentation

very few niceties are made available, which will be listed below. the rest should just be plain old page writing.

text

italic text is slightly brighter than normal text, as seen here.
the same color is used for small elements and the text of the footer.

h4 elements will have no spacing between themselves and any p element placed directly afterwards.
this is not the case for h5 and h6 elements, which are so small it’s recommended to avoid their use.

links

links are blue and bold, as seen here.

links with the target="_blank" attribute will add an asterisk after the link text, to show that they will open in a new tab.

page titles

the title property in each page’s front matter determines what is displayed by your browser; it will also automatically be displayed in an h1 at the top of the page.

if a page has the same title property as _config.yml, the title displayed by your browser will instead become “home”.

footer

set the footer property in your _config.yml file to change the text displayed there.
