Sample Article
This article exists to exercise the rendering chrome of the wiki engine. It has multiple sections so the table of contents on the left rail has something to populate, several headings so per-section edit pencils have something to attach to, and a footer block so the categories convention is visible at the end.
[edit]Reading surface elements
The reading view ships the conventions a Wikipedia reader recognises on sight: the article and talk tab pair on the title row, the read and edit and view-history tab pair on the right, a collapsible table of contents on the left rail that follows the reader on scroll, a tagline below the page title, and a footer block that lists categories before the licence and contact links.
The masthead band immediately under the title row is reserved for inline verifiable citation summaries; it currently displays a placeholder while the verification machinery is built.
[edit]Density preference
The reader density toggle in the masthead band offers three states for citation marks: off, exceptions only, and all. The default is exceptions only — verified citations are visible but unobtrusive; coloured marks reserved for items that need attention. The setting persists across sessions in browser local storage.
[edit]Editing surface
The edit tab on the right of the title row opens an in-place editor. The editor surface is built on CodeMirror 6 with Markdown syntax highlighting, line numbers, soft-wrap, undo and redo history, citation autocomplete on the bracket character, and inline diagnostic squiggles that reference the rule each diagnostic enforces. The save button writes to disk atomically.
