A numbered walkthrough — visual test

This post mirrors the kau.sh-style numbered walkthrough1 — numbered H2 headings with descriptive subtitles, prose under each step, and a closing pull-quote. It exercises the heading scale, nested list rendering, and the visual rhythm of a longer post.

##Step 0 — Setting the scene

Before the actual work, a paragraph of context. Why are we doing this? Who is the audience? What does done look like? Real posts answer all three; this test post just gestures at them.

A second paragraph in this section, because steps shouldn’t be one-paragraph each by default.

##Step 1 — The first concrete action

The first thing we do. Concrete, small, verifiable.

  • A sub-point under the step.
  • A second sub-point.
    • A nested sub-sub-point to see indent behavior.
    • Another nested one.
  • A third sub-point.

##Step 2 — The second concrete action

The second thing we do. This one has a fenced block inline with the prose to make sure code inside a numbered walkthrough doesn’t visually fight the heading hierarchy:

# step 2 in code form
echo "do the second thing"

After the code block, a sentence to close out the step.

##Step 3 — The third concrete action

The third thing we do. By this point the reader should have a feel for the cadence. End with a short pull-quote that summarizes the take:

The point of the walkthrough is not the steps. It’s the rhythm.

A single-sentence paragraph to close the post.
