This post exists to test the theme. It uses every card and text style the Ghost editor offers, so if anything looks wrong here, it's a theme bug.

Text formatting

A paragraph with bold, italic, bold italic, strikethrough, inline code, a link to Ghost, highlighted text (select it, then use the highlight button), and superscript like E = mc². This sentence is long on purpose, so you can check the line length, line height and how the text wraps on a narrow phone screen at the default size.
