I updated [plaindown](https://waylonwalker.com/) to support _cool_ heading formats, and I'm digging it, markata you are next.  Time to make the web weird again and really start writing more again.

## The code to make it ~~easy~~ ^**fun**^ to write

Here's the `markdown` that wrote it followed by the output here.

``` md
# Build **good places** for _interesting people_.

## Make room for ==the weird idea.==

Some normal paragraph text between headings.

## Build a `personal web` that feels ^**yours**^.

More ordinary prose.

## Follow the [~small~ web](https://waylonwalker.com), not the cr^owd^.

## Make a ~~perfect~~ memorable site.

## Leave space for ==**strange little ideas.**==

## Sometimes the ~~obvious answer~~ ==weird answer== is the interesting one.

## A **good theme** makes _quiet words_, `technical words`, and ==loud words== belong together.

## ==A highlighted phrase can be long enough to wrap onto another line and test the highlight background.==

## Make a [**~small~ corner of the web**](https://waylonwalker.com) that feels _like yours._

## Chemistry should still work: H~2~**O** and x^2^

## Keyboard syntax should still work: ++Ctrl+C++
```
