Markdown Examples for Frontend Development

This post demonstrates various markdown formatting options that work beautifully with our classic science book aesthetic. Perfect for documenting frontend techniques and UX insights.

Typography and Text Formatting

You can use bold text for emphasis, italic text for subtle highlights, and inline code for technical terms like useState or flexbox.

Code Blocks

Here’s a JavaScript example:

const useTheme = () => {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState("light");

  const toggleTheme = () => {
    setTheme((prev) => (prev === "light" ? "dark" : "light"));
  };

  return { theme, toggleTheme };
};

CSS styling:

.button {
  padding: 0.75rem 1.5rem;
  border-radius: 6px;
  transition: all 0.2s ease;
}

.button:hover {
  transform: translateY(-2px);
  box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
}
