The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both (_/) And be one traveler, long I stood (='.'=) And looked down one as far as I could (")_(") To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, |_/| Because it was grassy and wanted wear; / @ @ Though as for that the passing there ( > º < ) Had worn them really about the same, `>>x<<´ / O And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how it is handled and to find out how it overflows;

Markup: Text Alignment
Default
This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.
Left Align
This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it’s views. It’s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.
Center Align
This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.
Right Align
This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it’s views. It’s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it’s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.
Justify Align
This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it’s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.
Markup: Title With Special Characters ~`!@#$%^&*()-_=+{}[]/\;:'”?,.>
Putting special characters in the title should have no adverse effect on the layout or functionality.
Special characters in the post title have been known to cause issues with JavaScript when it is minified, especially in the admin when editing the post itself (ie. issues with metaboxes, media upload, etc.).
Latin Character Tests
This is a test to see if the fonts used in this theme support basic Latin characters.

Markup: Title With Markup
Verify that:
- The post title renders the word “with” in italics and the word “markup” in bold (and “up” is superscript).
- The post title markup should be removed from the browser window / tab.
Template: Featured Image (Vertical)
This post should display a featured image, if the theme supports it.
Non-square images can provide some unique styling issues.
This post tests a vertical featured image.
Template: Featured Image (Horizontal)
This post should display a featured image, if the theme supports it.
Non-square images can provide some unique styling issues.
This post tests a horizontal featured image.
Template: More Tag
This content is before the more tag.
Right after this sentence should be a “continue reading” button of some sort on list pages of themes that show full content. It won’t show on single pages or on themes showing excerpts.
Template: Excerpt (Defined)
This is the post content. It should be displayed in place of the user-defined excerpt in single-page views.
Template: Excerpt (Generated)
This is the post content. It should be displayed in place of the auto-generated excerpt in single-page views. Archive-index pages should display an auto-generated excerpt of this content. Depending on Theme-defined filters, the length of the auto-generated excerpt will vary from Theme-to-Theme. The default length for auto-generated excerpts is 55 words, so to test the excerpt auto-generation, this post must have more than 55 words.
Be sure to test the formatting of the auto-generated excerpt, to ensure that it doesn’t create any layout problems. Also, ensure that any filters applied to the excerpt, such as excerpt_length
and excerpt_more
, display properly.
