This post serves as both a tribute to Kotaro and a comprehensive test of all Hugo/Markdown features. Let’s dive in!

Basic Text Formatting

Here’s bold text, italic text, and bold italic text combined.

You can also use underscores for bold and underscores for italic.

Strikethrough for when Kotaro knocks things off tables (which is never, of course).

This is inline code for when we discuss cat-related programming.

Tables

Basic Table

Aligned Table

Complex Table

Footnotes

Kotaro sleeps approximately 16 hours a day¹, which is normal for cats².

His favorite food is salmon-flavored kibble³.

Horizontal Rules

Three different ways to create them:

HTML Elements (if allowed)

He actually does know his name. He just chooses to ignore it.

Highlighted text for important cat facts.

Ctrl + C to copy cat pictures.

Text with superscript and subscript.

VIC status confirmed.

Emojis

Kotaro’s mood throughout the day: 😺 😸 😻 😽 😿 🙀 😾

Cat-related emojis: 🐱 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐾 🐟 🥫 🧶

Math (if enabled with KaTeX/MathJax)

The formula for calculating required daily pets:

$$P = \frac{C \times M}{T}$$

Where:

• $P$ = Pets required
• $C$ = Cuteness factor (always 10 for Kotaro)
• $M$ = Meow intensity
• $T$ = Time since last pets

Inline math: The probability of Kotaro responding to his name is $p \approx 0.05$.
