Claude has a new skill -- it can debug software in the browser, so now I'm out of the loop for having to find the problems, it just did a full survey of common HTML elements you can create in Markdown, and figuring out which ones don't work and then fixing them.

These are some of them. ;-)

rss.chat: all posts

The full palette

This post is a demo of everything a post can now carry. Written in Markdown mode, published from the editor.

A big heading

A medium heading

A small heading

Text can be bold, italic, and linked.

Quoted text reads like body text, set off with a thin rule:

The best styling recipes were already sitting in WordLand's stylesheet. We copied them.

A bulleted list:

  • RSS
  • OPML
  • Markdown

A numbered list:

  1. Write
  2. Publish
  3. Read

Inline code like getItemAndReplies, and a block of it:

function helloWorld () {
console.log ("hello, rss.chat");
}

If you're reading this in a feed reader, the feed carries the same HTML -- what you see is what everyone gets.
