Time Loves a Hero
But only time will tell
If he's real
He's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he's a sinner from hell.
This is an example of an outline
I have structured it deliberately using the outline structure.
There is no Markdown here, just outline structure and HTML.
This is a test: Scripting News.
The details
The attribute is #flMarkdown.
If it's an outline, and markdown is turned off, we use the outline renderer.
That's what makes sense.
Yes.
Intuitive not intelligent
It's intelligent enough. If there are no subheads it knows that this should not be formatted as a headline.
However if there are subheads then it assumes it's a list.
Here's a nice outline
- Western states
- California
Oregon
Portland
Eugene
Washington
- Mid-Atlantic states
New York
Albany
New Paltz
The Hamptons
Brooklyn
Buffalo
Syracuse
Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia
Delaware
Maryland
Baltimore
Anapolis
New Jersey
Trenton
Newark
Princeton

But then there's another paragraph and everything is back to normal. Until something appears underneath it then it becomes a headline again. You learn how to play with it, I guess.
I heard that when you type the term si
igit into Fargo you get a weird Emoji character.
That's six hyphen digit. The trigger is x hyphen d.
Let's see if it happens here.
It does.
We're using Emojify in Fargo to do the rendering.
One thing you can do until we figure out what's going wrong is you can turn Emoji's off globally or on a single page. See the announcement page for Fargo 1.60 to see how to do it.
Perhaps this should be reported as an issue on the GitHub project?
I added a comment to a reported issue that says that'd gets screwed up in a similar way.
Outline is the most basic type in Fargo.
Here's a tweet inside an outline.

When I did the transition to the new format of Scripting News over the weekend, I decided for the moment not to change the format of the feed. However I will do it, eventually -- and it's almost certain not to work well in some feed readers, maybe most of them.
One of the reasons I wanted to give it a little extra time is to create a time for feed reader devs who care to make the small changes necessary to accommodate title-less items.
Example #1
http://scripting.com/noteblog.xml
This is the feed for the noteblog. You probably should not subscribe to this feed because it will stop updating when the next transition happens. But it's an example of the kinds of items that will show up in the main feed.
Example #2
http://links.scripting.com/rss.xml
This is my original linkblog feed, going back to 2010.
All the items in this feed are title-less.
Background
If developers want to handle the coming changes in Scripting News these two examples should be enough to make these feeds work in your software.
I explained the changes, and the reasons in this March 9 post.
Update
Mike Rodriquez reports that Newsblur supports title-less feed items.
Here's how Chrome deals with title-less items. Not optimal!
And here's how River 3 deals with title-less items.
Feedly handles them a lot like Chrome.
At some point, soon, the Scripting News feed will have items without titles. The body of these items are in their descriptions, as explained in the RSS 2.0 spec.
An item may represent a "story" -- much like a story in a newspaper or magazine; if so its description is a synopsis of the story, and the link points to the full story. An item may also be complete in itself, if so, the description contains the text (entity-encoded HTML is allowed; see examples), and the link and title may be omitted. All elements of an item are optional, however at least one of title or description must be present.
How we got here
Scripting News started in this format, and Frontier News before it.
Manila, the first CMS to produce RSS feeds, supported title-less items in feeds.
In 2006, Google Reader had gained dominance, and didn't support title-less posts. As a result Scripting News didn't look great in their reader, so there was pressure on me to change. At the same time Twitter came along, and fully adopted the idea of posts without titles, so I split my blogging into two pieces, one on Twitter and my linkblog, and the other, just the essays that appeared on Scripting News before. Scripting News, the first blog to have a feed, conformed to Google Reader's omission (a kind way of putting it) or bug (more fair). Scripting News became Google's idea of what a blog is. Ugh.
I felt this was okay as long as Twitter held promise for being a revolutionary Internet-scale notification service with a powerful API. But they've backed off that. Their service hasn't improved in a long time. I didn't realize how much I missed doing the intermediate-length posts until I started using Facebook regularly. But stuff I post there has no lasting value. So I need a better place for that kind of writing, so why not use my own blog? Of course that's the right answer.
Undoing the mistake
I'm undoing the mistake I made in 2006. And that means you may either find that your RSS reader supports my feed, or it doesn't. I'm not going to let them hold me back. If you can't read my feed in their tools, then you can switch to one that works properly, read the site in a web browser, or don't read it at all.
I'm sorry it has to be this way, but reader developers have been deciding arbitrarily not to support an important part of the RSS standard. I want to use the feature, I was using it long before any of them existed, and it's easy for them to support. Just a little bit of thinking and a little bit of coding.
Good for the environment.
All baking done on premises.
Still diggin!
It's even worse than it appears.
Ask not what the Internet can do for you...
You should never argue with a crazy man.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.
Greetings, citizen of Planet Earth. We are your overlords. 
We don't need no stinkin rock stars.
This aggression will not stand.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Reallll soooon now...
What a long strange trip it's been.
Ask not what the Internet can do for you.
When in doubt, blog.
Shut up and eat your vegetables.
Don't slam the door on the way out.
Yeah well, that's just, you know, like, your opinion, man.
So, it has come to this.
I dreamt of this feature while fighting off a cold in a marathon sleep session last night.
It was okay.
Kind of stupid in the middle, but interesting at the beginning and end.
I've been sleeping all day and night.
Coughing. Achy. Feeling poor. And the weather outside oy it's so cold and wet and snowing again.
At the beginning of the winter snow was so special. Now -- well I'm snow weary.
