The style guide provides you with a blueprint of Subtle default post and page styles. The style guide is also a great reference for suggested typographic treatment and styles for your content.

Images

This theme supports regular image with or without caption, wide images with or without caption and full-width images with or without the caption. The examples provided below.

Concrete roads — This regular image with caption

Wide image with caption — This wide image with caption

Full-width image with caption — This full-width image with caption

One neat trick which you can use in Markdown to distinguish between different types of images is to add a #hash value to the end of the source URL, and then target images containing the hash with special styling. For example, to add a wider image, you need to add the #wide value to the end of the source URL.

Lists

Unordered Lists

The HTML <ul> element represents an unordered list of items, typically rendered as a bulleted list.

Usage notes:

The <ul> element is for grouping a collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering, and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically, unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can be of several forms, like a dot, a circle or a squared.
There is no limitation to the depth and alternation of nested lists defined with the <ol> and <ul> elements.
The <ol> and <ul> elements both represent a list of items. They differ in that, with the <ol> element, the order is meaningful.

Ordered Lists

The HTML <ol> element represents an ordered list of items, typically rendered as a numbered list.

Usage notes:

Typically, ordered-list items are displayed with a preceding numbering, which can be of any form, like numerals, letters or Romans numerals or even simple bullets.
There is no limitation to the depth and alternation of nested lists defined with the <ol> and <ul> elements.
The <ol> and <ul> both represent a list of items. They differ in the way that, with the <ol> element, the order is meaningful.

Footnotes

The quick brown fox¹ jumped over the lazy dog².

Footnotes are a great way to add additional contextual details when appropriate. Ghost will automatically add footnote content to the very end of your post.
