The elements of a post

Every post is a small collection of furniture. Here is the full set, arranged for inspection.

Words about words

The Editor

Things in rows

Some content prefers a grid. The table below seats each element next to its job and its general mood:

Element	Job	Mood
Heading	Sets the tone	Confident
List	Keeps count	Orderly
Quote	Borrows a voice	Generous

Lists are the table’s casual cousins — the same instinct for order, none of the borders:

• Bullets in the margin’s own color
• Numbers in a matching mood
• Nothing louder than the text

Filed, not forgotten

For the technically inclined

Most of the details above come down to one small rule apiece. This is the one that draws the dotted underlines:

a, u, ins {
  text-decoration-style: dotted;
  text-decoration-thickness: 1px;
  text-underline-offset: 0.1em;
}

That’s the whole set. Everything else is just writing.
