The Ultimate CMS Stress Test: Coding Edition

Testing a rich text editor requires a mix of structural depth and technical variety. This article serves as a benchmark for Strapi's rendering capabilities across different data types.

1. Structural Hierarchy & Formatting

Effective documentation relies on clear headers. Below this H2, we'll check nested styles:

A Sub-header for Fine Detail

Content creators often need to emphasize points. You can use bold text for impact, italics for emphasis, or even bold-italics for those rare "look at me" moments.

Sometimes, we need to show that a technology is obsolete, such as Internet Explorer support or PHP 4.


2. Lists and Navigation

Nested Unordered List

  • Frontend Frameworks
    • React (Next.js)
    • Vue (Nuxt.js)
    • Svelte (SvelteKit)
  • Backend Technologies
    • Node.js
    • Strapi CMS
    • PostgreSQL

Ordered Step-by-Step

  1. Initialize the project with npx create-strapi-app.
  2. Define your Content-Type schemas.
  3. Set permissions in the Settings panel.
  4. Fetch data via the /api/ endpoint.

3. Technical & Mathematical Notations

When documenting algorithms, we need to express complexity. For example, a binary search runs in:

$$O(\log n)$$

If you are working with graphics or physics engines, you might need to display the Pythagorean theorem:

$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$

5. Code Block & Inline Snippets

Developers frequently use inline code snippets for variable names like const userID. For larger logic blocks, syntax highlighting is key:

interface User {
  id: number;
  username: string;
  isAdmin: boolean;
}

const greetUser = (user: User): string => {
  return user.isAdmin 
    ? `Welcome back, Admin ${user.username}!` 
    : `Hello, ${user.username}!`;
};

console.log(greetUser({ id: 1, username: "Gemini", isAdmin: true }));
