# Default Article Style

This article is a demo of the standard post treatment: title, date, summary,
theme-aware hero image, tag chips, readable body copy, and optional share links.

TileDown keeps that presentation in the generated site layer, so authors write
content once and the site applies the house style consistently.

> A default article should make the writing feel intentional before the author
> touches custom layout.

## What this page proves

| Element | Purpose |
|:---|:---|
| Hero image | Provides a strong visual lead in light and dark themes |
| Article metadata | Shows date and tags without manual markup |
| Share links | Uses the site option instead of per-post HTML |
| Body rhythm | Exercises paragraphs, tables, quotes, and headings |

The goal is a default article format that is good enough for launch notes,
technical essays, and product updates without custom templates.
