Sample story: how a long investigation reads on this site
A placeholder article showing headlines, images, quotes, tables and source notes. Replace it with your first story.
This is placeholder text. Every story is a plain Markdown file in the content/articles folder. The block at the top of the file sets the headline, the summary line under it, the date, the section and the lead image. Everything below that block is the story itself.
Paragraphs are separated by a blank line. Links look like this one, and the site marks outside links so readers’ browsers don’t pass along where they came from.
Subheadings break up long pieces
A line starting with ## becomes a subheading. Each one gets its own anchor, so you can link someone straight to a section of a long investigation.
A line starting with
>becomes a block quote, for quoting documents, filings or interviews.
Tables work for records and timelines
| Date | Record | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-01-04 | Placeholder entry | Public filing |
| 2026-03-18 | Placeholder entry | Court docket |
| 2026-06-02 | Placeholder entry | Procurement notice |
On a phone, wide tables scroll sideways inside the story rather than breaking the page.
Sources. A source list at the end of a story is just a list:
- Placeholder source one, with a link.
- Placeholder source two.
