## Here’s an h2

This is a paragraph.

This is another paragraph. It might be a bit longer.

-   Here’s a list.

-   It’s nice, the editor automatically turns dashes into lists


And I can double-enter to get out of the list.

### Here’s an h3

Similarly, the editor understands markdown notation for headings. That’s really handy. I also like that I can prevent editors from creating h1s (or h5/h6, who needs those).

#### Let’s do some formatting

*Italics.* **Bold!** ***Bold and italic.*** There’s even ~~strikethrough~~.

Inline `code blocks` work as well, though they don’t pick up on markdown formatting.

> Blockquotes work like this.

Let’s add a link. Here’s my [website](https://leecat.art). They let you choose internal vs. external. Annoyingly, in the rich text editor links are only distinguishable via color, so that’s a bit of an accessibility fail.

## Let’s do more with lists

1.  Here’s an ordered list

    1.  it has a nested ordered list inside of it!

    2.  How fancy.

2.  You can of course tab and shift+tab to change your list level.

We’ve got some lovely horizontal rules as well.

## Markdown attrs plugin

Now, let’s see if our markdown attributes feature works. Here’s my [website again](https://leecat.art){rel=”external”}. I suspect the smart quotes will cause issues! So that may not work.

## Images

We’ve added an image above. I tried to add alt text, but I’m not sure that Eleventy will pick up on that.

Ok, let’s push this and see what we get.
