It's always sunny on SkyPress

SkyPress kitchen sink

This is a rendering test. @youronly.one put together a kitchen sink collection for Standard.site platforms on Semble, and asked if SkyPress could have one too. Here it is :)

SkyPress uses the WordPress block editor, but only a small set of its blocks: ten you can insert, plus the list items that live inside lists. Each section below shows one of them, with a note on what you should see.

For reader developers

Text formats

Note: underline and text colors aren't kept. Highlighted text uses your reader's default highlight color.

Bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, Ctrl + K, H2O, E = mc2, highlighted text, and a link.

Combined: bold and italic, bold and struck through, and an italic link.

Note: the next three lines are in a single paragraph, split with line breaks (Shift+Enter). Each one should start on a new line.

Roses are red,
skies are blue,
this post is a test.

Headings

Note: the article title is the page's only h1, so headings inside the article start at h2. This section's title is an h2.

This is an h3

This is an h4

This is an h5
This is an h6

Lists

Note: the nested items should be indented under their parent.

  1. Step one
  2. Step two, with a nested list:
    1. Step two point one
    2. Step two point two
  3. Step three

Quote

Note: the quote has two paragraphs and a citation.

Your words, your account, the open web.

This second paragraph is still inside the same quote.

Pullquote

A pullquote is a bigger, louder quote, meant to stand out from the text around it.

Someone, probably

Code

Note: code blocks don't store a language. On skypress.blog, the reader guesses the language and adds syntax highlighting; other readers may show plain text. This is the list of blocks SkyPress allows, straight from its source code.

export const ALLOWED_BLOCKS = [
	'core/paragraph',
	'core/heading',
	'core/image',
	'core/gallery',
	'core/quote',
	'core/pullquote',
	'core/list',
	'core/list-item',
	'core/code',
	'core/separator',
	'core/embed',
] as const;

Separator

Note: there should be a horizontal line between this paragraph and the next one.


There should be a line above this paragraph.

Image

Note: the image should have alt text ("The SkyPress editor, with a paragraph being written") and a caption ("This is a caption.") below it.

The SkyPress editor, with a paragraph being written
This is a caption.

Gallery

Note: the gallery has three images, each with its own caption.

Embeds

Note: SkyPress turns links to Bluesky posts, YouTube videos and Vimeo videos into cards. Any other link stays a plain link.
