Footnote Test — Every Kind
Kicking the tires on footnotes
A kitchen-sink post exercising every kind of footnote — inline formatting, multiple paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, code, and reuse — to verify rendering with and without soft line breaks.
Lab — The Complete Post, With Everything In Its Right Place
The happy path: image, subtitle, excerpt, author, date, tags
This is the shape every theme should nail first: a normal title, a real image, a paragraph-length excerpt with enough words to show how the card truncates or wraps, plus author and date metadata. If this looks good, most of your posts will.
Lab — No Image At All
Same as the happy path, minus the image
The image-less case is the one that breaks most themes: does the card collapse gracefully, or is there a sad empty box or a lopsided grid cell where the image should be? Everything else here is normal.
Lab — Tiny
Two words.
Lab — A Deliberately Overlong Headline That Keeps Going and Going Until It Has No Choice But To Wrap Across Several Lines
And a subtitle that is also on the longer side, to see how the two stack together in a card
This excerpt is intentionally far too long for any card. It exists to prove that your list, compact, and full templates clamp or truncate rather than letting the text run for a dozen lines and shove everything else around. Lorem-ish filler continues well past the point of usefulness so the truncation boundary is unmistakable, and then continues some more, and then a little more, just to be certain the clamp is doing real work and not merely coincidentally fitting.
Lab — Ünïcödé, Emoji 🎧🌍, and an Unbreakable String
Accents, scripts, and a URL with no spaces to break on
Mixed scripts (café, naïve, Zürich, 東京, مرحبا) and emoji 🚀 to check font fallback and line-height. The real trap is below the fold.
Lab — Audio Post
post_type: audio
An audio post. In lists it should read like any card; on its own page it renders an audio player above the body.
Lab — Video Post
post_type: video
A video post pointing at a real file already in the site. Checks the video player region and how video posts sit in collections.
Lab — Paid Post With a Paywall
audience: paid
A gated post. Free/public readers see this preview plus the paywall; paid, active members see the whole thing.
Lab — Galleries and In-Body Images
Auto-gallery, manual gallery, captions, single images
Everything image-in-body: a lone image, an auto-gallery from consecutive images, a manual gallery block, and captions.

Yeah, it's in the back. It's cold, damn cold. Ha, ha, ha, Einstein, you little devil. Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine, it's still ticking.
