this is the first post on the zola demo site.

markdown features

standard markdown works as expected:

• bold and italic text

• links

• lists (like this one)

code examples

syntax highlighting works across many languages.

python

def fibonacci(n):
    a, b = 0, 1
    for _ in range(n):
        yield a
        a, b = b, a + b

for num in fibonacci(10):
    print(num)

rust

use std::collections::HashMap;

fn word_count(text: &str) -> HashMap<&str, usize> {
    let mut counts = HashMap::new();
    for word in text.split_whitespace() {
        *counts.entry(word).or_insert(0) += 1;
    }
    counts
}

fn main() {
    let counts = word_count("hello world hello");
    println!("{:?}", counts);
}

typescript

interface Config {
  baseUrl: string;
  title: string;
  markdown: {
    highlighting?: { theme: string };
  };
}

async function buildSite(config: Config): Promise<string[]> {
  const pages = await loadContent(config.baseUrl);
  return pages.map(page => renderTemplate(page, config));
}

sql

SELECT
  s.slug,
  COUNT(i.id) AS item_count,
  MAX(v.created_at) AS last_updated
FROM sublimated.spaces s
JOIN sublimated.items i ON i.space_id = s.id
JOIN sublimated.versions v ON v.item_id = i.id
WHERE s.visibility = 'public'
GROUP BY s.slug
ORDER BY last_updated DESC
LIMIT 10;
