Typography and Text Formatting in Dark Mode
This post demonstrates the typography and text formatting capabilities of our modern dark theme. The carefully chosen color palette ensures excellent readability while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Heading Hierarchy
This is an H1 heading
This is an H2 heading
This is an H3 heading
This is an H4 heading
This is an H5 heading
This is an H6 heading
Text Formatting
Here’s some bold text and some italic text. You can also combine them for bold and italic text.
For inline code, we use monospace font that stands out against the dark background. Links are styled with our accent color and have smooth hover transitions.
Lists
Unordered Lists
- First item in an unordered list
- Second item with some longer text to show how it wraps
- Third item
- Nested item
- Another nested item
- Back to the main level
Ordered Lists
- First numbered item
- Second numbered item
- Third numbered item with a much longer description to demonstrate how the text wraps and maintains proper spacing
- Fourth item
Blockquotes
This is a blockquote that demonstrates how quoted text appears in our dark theme. The left border uses our accent color to make it visually distinct while maintaining readability.
Multiple paragraphs in blockquotes are also supported, as you can see here.
Code Blocks
Here’s a JavaScript code block to show syntax highlighting:
// Modern JavaScript example
const blogTheme = {
name: 'Modern Dark',
features: ['responsive', 'fast', 'accessible'],
init() {
console.log(`Initializing ${this.name} theme`);
this.setupDarkMode();
},
setupDarkMode() {
document.body.classList.add('dark-theme');
}
};
blogTheme.init();
And here’s some CSS:
:root {
--bg-primary: #0d1117;
--text-primary: #e6edf3;
--accent: #58a6ff;
}
.dark-theme {
background-color: var(--bg-primary);
color: var(--text-primary);
}
Performance Features
This theme is built with performance in mind:
- Minimal Dependencies: No external frameworks or heavy libraries
- Optimized Assets: Compressed CSS and minimal JavaScript
- Lazy Loading: Images load only when needed
- Modern CSS: Uses CSS custom properties and modern features
- SEO Optimized: Semantic HTML and proper meta tags
The dark color scheme is not just aesthetically pleasing—it’s also easier on the eyes and can help reduce eye strain during extended reading sessions.
