Introduction

This is a test post to verify ox-hugo export handles various edge cases. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Code Blocks

Inline code

Use org-hugo-export-to-md to export, or C-c C-e H h for the keybinding.

Source block with language

def hello(name: str) -> str:
    """Greet someone — with "quotes" and 中文."""
    return f"Hello, {name}! <script>alert('xss')</script>"

# Edge case: backslash in string
path = "C:\\Users\\test\\file.org"

Source block without language

Just plain text in a source block.
No language specified — should still export fine.

Shell block with special chars

echo "Pipes | and redirects > and && chains"
grep -r "TODO\|DONE" ~/org/notes/ | wc -l

Elisp with org-specific syntax

(setq my-var '("item with 'quotes'" "item with \"escaped quotes\""))
;; Comment with — em dash and … ellipsis

Rich Text Formatting

Emphasis edge cases

Bold text and italic text and underlined text and strikethrough.

Mixed: bold with italic inside it and italic with bold inside.

Emphasis at line boundaries: This whole line is bold

Text with asterisks that should NOT be bold: 5 * 3 = 15, or a*b*c without spaces.

Lists

Unordered with nesting

  • Item one
    • Sub-item with bold
    • Sub-item with code
      • Third level nesting
  • Item two

Ordered list

  1. First item
  2. Second with a long paragraph that wraps to the next line and keeps going to test how ox-hugo handles paragraph continuation within list items
  3. Third item

Description list

Emacs
The extensible, customizable editor
Vim
The ubiquitous text editor
VS Code
Microsoft’s electron-based editor

Math & Special Characters

LaTeX math

Inline math: \( E = mc^2 \) and \( \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i \).

Display math:

\begin{equation} \int\_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi} \end{equation}

When $a \ne 0$, there are two solutions to $(ax^2 + bx + c = 0)$ and they are

$$ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} $$

Unicode & CJK

Chinese: 这是一段中文测试文本，包含标点符号：「引号」、（括号）、——破折号。

Japanese: こんにちは世界

Emoji: 🚀 🎉 ✅ ❌ (if enableEmoji = true in hugo.toml)

Special chars: © ® ™ — – … « » × ÷ ≠ ≤ ≥

HTML entities that might cause issues

Less than: 5 < 10, Greater than: 10 > 5

Ampersand in text: Tom & Jerry, AT&T

Angle brackets in prose: The <div> tag is common in HTML.

Quotes & Admonitions

To be or not to be, that is the question. — William Shakespeare

This quote has multiple paragraphs.

And a third one with formatting.

Images (placeholder paths)

Non-exist images

A reference to a local image that does NOT exist (will fail gracefully):

An image with caption and attributes:

Figure 1: A test diagram showing the architecture

Figure 1: A test diagram showing the architecture

org download images

Heading with code and bold in Title

Content under a heading that has markup in its title.

TODO A heading that looks like a TODO (should it export?)

This heading has a TODO keyword — test how ox-hugo handles it.

DONE A completed heading

Should the CLOSED timestamp appear in export?

Horizontal Rules

Content above.

Content below the horizontal rule.

Outline

Edge cases to verify:

  • Special characters in title: quotes, ampersands, colons
  • CJK characters mixed with English
  • Code blocks with various languages and special chars
  • LaTeX math (inline and display)
  • Nested lists and description lists
  • Tables with CJK content
  • Footnotes with formatting
  • Image references (even if files don’t exist)
  • TODO/DONE headings
  • HTML-like content in prose (< > &)

Draft

This is the main content area. The sections above serve as the draft.
