Sample Article in English
Welcome to this test article. This is a sample paragraph to get a feel of the typography and spacing for this theme. Arrow leverages default browser stylesheets and adds styling only when necessary to ensure responsive design or enhance navigation.

After the headings, we take a look at elements we’d normally use in an article.
Lists
An unordered list looks like this:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item

Media Elements
For my next number, I want to start by adding the different types of media I would regularly add to my articles. First, I’ll start with images, which should ideally have captions.
Images
The first story in the George Saunders book I started earlier this week is called In the Cart by Anton Chekhov.

YouTube
Next, we can embed a YouTube video. Here is what I’m listening to as I write this.
Spotify
I also listen to a lot of music, and if it’s on Spotify, it’s handy to have it ready in a small embed widget.
Blockquotes and Preformatted Text
According to the MDN Article on blockquotes:
The HTML blockquote Element (or HTML Block Quotation Element) indicates that the enclosed text is an extended quotation. Usually, this is rendered visually by indentation (see Notes for how to change it). A URL for the source of the quotation may be given using the cite attribute, while a text representation of the source can be given using the
<cite>
cite element.
As a programmer, it’s important to also have well-defined code blocks. For example, here’s some code in Ruby, one of my favorite programming languages.
##
# Run WEBrick HTTP server.
#
# ruby -run -e httpd -- [OPTION] [DocumentRoot]
#
# --bind-address=ADDR address to bind
# --port=NUM listening port number
# --max-clients=MAX max number of simultaneous clients
# --temp-dir=DIR temporary directory
# --do-not-reverse-lookup disable reverse lookup
# --request-timeout=SECOND request timeout in seconds
# --http-version=VERSION HTTP version
# --server-name=NAME name of the server host
# --server-software=NAME name and version of the server
# --ssl-certificate=CERT The SSL certificate file for the server
# --ssl-private-key=KEY The SSL private key file for the server certificate
# -v verbose
#
def httpd
setup("", "BindAddress=ADDR", "Port=PORT", "MaxClients=NUM", "TempDir=DIR",
"DoNotReverseLookup", "RequestTimeout=SECOND", "HTTPVersion=VERSION",
"ServerName=NAME", "ServerSoftware=NAME",
"SSLCertificate=CERT", "SSLPrivateKey=KEY") do
|argv, options|
begin
require 'webrick'
rescue LoadError
abort "webrick is not found. You may need to `gem install webrick` to install webrick."
end
opt = options[:RequestTimeout] and options[:RequestTimeout] = opt.to_i
[:Port, :MaxClients].each do |name|
opt = options[name] and (options[name] = Integer(opt)) rescue nil
end
if cert = options[:SSLCertificate]
key = options[:SSLPrivateKey] or
raise "--ssl-private-key option must also be given"
require 'webrick/https'
options[:SSLEnable] = true
options[:SSLCertificate] = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.read(cert))
options[:SSLPrivateKey] = OpenSSL::PKey.read(File.read(key))
options[:Port] ||= 8443 # HTTPS Alternate
end
options[:Port] ||= 8080 # HTTP Alternate
options[:DocumentRoot] = argv.shift || '.'
s = nil
options[:StartCallback] = proc {
logger = s.logger
logger.info("To access this server, open this URL in a browser:")
s.listeners.each do |listener|
if options[:SSLEnable]
addr = listener.addr
addr[3] = "127.0.0.1" if addr[3] == "0.0.0.0"
addr[3] = "::1" if addr[3] == "::"
logger.info(" https://#{Addrinfo.new(addr).inspect_sockaddr}")
else
logger.info(" http://#{listener.connect_address.inspect_sockaddr}")
end
end
}
s = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(options)
shut = proc {s.shutdown}
siglist = %w"TERM QUIT"
siglist.concat(%w"HUP INT") if STDIN.tty?
siglist &= Signal.list.keys
siglist.each do |sig|
Signal.trap(sig, shut)
end
s.start
end
end
Inline code elements can appear in a different color. Here’s
a one-liner to start a server from the terminal:
$ ruby -run -e httpd
Footnotes
Lastly, it’s important to ensure that footnotes work, since I find myself using them quite a lot to link to external sources whenever I’m discussing or researching something at length.1

This is an example of a footnote. ↩
