Welcome to the blog! This is a placeholder article to demonstrate how the markdown-to-HTML pipeline works. Drop any .md file into the content/posts/ folder and it automatically becomes a page on the site.

How It Works

Each markdown file needs a bit of frontmatter at the top — that's the section between the --- lines. It holds metadata like the title, date, and description. Everything below it is the post body, written in plain markdown.

Here's what the frontmatter looks like:

---
title: "Your Post Title"
date: "2026-02-21"
description: "A short summary of the post."
---

Formatting Demo

You can use all the usual markdown features:

Bold text and italic text
Inline code for short snippets
Numbered lists, bullet lists, blockquotes — the works

That's it. Write something in markdown, save it to content/posts/, and it shows up on the site.
