POST_TITLE

Opening paragraph that hooks the reader. Replace this placeholder text with the actual introduction to the post.

First section heading

Body paragraph. Use bold and italic where appropriate. Keep paragraphs short — Medium breaks long paragraphs visually.

Subsection

More body content here. Use unordered lists where they fit naturally:

• First bullet point
• Second bullet point
• Third bullet point

Use ordered lists for steps:

1. First step
2. Second step
3. Third step

Code examples

Inside <pre><code> blocks, use HTML entities for angle brackets. Example:

def hello_world():
    print("Hello, world!")

hello_world()

Images

Always use absolute HTTPS URLs. Recommended source is Unsplash:

Pull-quote

The key insight or memorable quote from the post goes here. Medium's importer converts this into a styled blockquote automatically.

Embedded video

For YouTube embeds, paste the bare URL in a paragraph. Medium's importer will convert it into an embed block:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Closing

Wrap up with a summary or call to action. Keep it brief — no "in conclusion" filler.
