You can use code blocks to illustrate the content:

```php
//in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:
public function boot($app)
{
    // This is BS, but this is a demo-demo article, ok? ;)
    $app->appShell->theme->setPrimaryColor('#4349dd');
}
\```

> Use Markdown features like blockquotes.

## Use Headings To Partition The Article

It helps people to understand your article better.

### Use Multiple Heading Levels

Avoid using H1 since that's the title of the article, start from H2 for the major sections of your
article.

Also don't over-articulate, using more than 2-3 levels is usually unnecessary.

Have fun!
