The following gist was built to help developers test their websites, particularly how type elements line up in relationship to one another. This can be used in combination with a baseline grid for more precision. I can't remember who built this originally, but I think it's safe to assume that it was Jukka Korpela, as his name appeared in the cod…

<p>The following code was built to help developers test their websites, particularly how type elements line up in relationship to one another. This can be used in combination with a <a href="https://gist.github.com/4277585" title="CSS3 Baseline Grid">baseline grid</a> for more precision. Modified by <a href="http://cwhale.me">Carlos Ballena</a>. My apologies for I can't remember who built this originally, within the content you will find the name Jukka Korpela, after a quick Google search he seems to have a Web Development background so I think it's safe to assume he built it. Regardless, thanks to the creator for his work served as a template to this piece.</p>

<p>This is a small test paragraph.</p>
<div>Basic block level elements</div>
<p>This is a normal paragraph (<code>p</code> element). To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was primarily written for testing the effect of <strong>user style sheets</strong> . You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how your browser displays various HTML elements.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules, in my opionion.</p>
<div>This is a <code>div</code> element. Authors may use such elements instead of paragraph markup for various reasons. (End of <code>div</code>.)</div>
<blockquote><p>This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not <em>really</em> quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.</p></blockquote>
<p>The following contains address information about the author, in an <code>address</code> element.</p>
<address><a href="#">Jukka Korpela</a>, <a href="mailto:jkorpela@cs.tut.fi">jkorpela@cs.tut.fi</a></address>
<h2>Lists</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph before an <strong>unordered</strong> list (<code>ul</code> ). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".</p>
<ul><li>One.</li>
<li>Two.</li>
<li>Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.</li>
<li>Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a paragraph before an <strong>ordered</strong> list (<code>ol</code> ). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".</p>
<ol>
<li>One.</li>
<li>Two.</li>
<li>Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.</li>
<li>Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Text-level markup</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>this is highlighted text</strong> (<code>strong</code> markup used)</li>
<li>this is <em>very</em> simple (<code>em</code> markup used for emphasizing a word)</li>
<li><u>underlined</u> text (<code>u</code> markup used)</li>
<li><strike>overstruck</strike> (<code>strike</code> markup used; note: <code>s</code> is a nonstandard synonym for <code>strike</code> )</li>
<li><code>a[i] = b[i] + c[i);</code> (computer code; class <code>code</code> used)</li>
<li>In order to test how subscripts and superscripts (<code>sub</code> and <code>sup</code> markup) work inside running text, we need some dummy text around constructs like x<sub>1</sub> and H<sub>2</sub> O (where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts and superscripts mess u vertical spacing between lines. Now superscripts: M<sup>lle</sup>, 1<sup>st</sup>, and then some mathematical notations: e<sup>x</sup>, sin<sup>2</sup> <em>x</em> , and some nested superscripts (exponents) too: e<sup>x</sup>2 and f(x)<sup>g(x)</sup>a+b+c (where 2 and a+b+c should appear as exponents of exponents).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Links</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">main page</a></li>
<li><a title="Writing Systems and Punctuation" href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch06.pdf">Unicode Standard, chapter&nbsp;6</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a text paragraph that contains some inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links lists) are problematic from the <a href="#">usability</a> perspective, but they may have use as “incidental”, less relevant links. See the document <a href="#">Links Want To Be Links</a> .</p>
<h2>Tables</h2>
<p>The following table has a caption. The first row and the first column contain table header cells (<code>th</code> elements) only; other cells are data cells (<code>td</code> elements), with <code>align="right"</code> attributes:</p>
<p>Sample table: Areas of the Nordic countries, in sq km</p>
<table style="border-width: ;" summary="Each row names a Nordic country and specifies its total area and land area, in square kilometers"><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="white-space:normal;">Country</th>
<th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="white-space:normal;">Total area</th>
<th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="white-space:normal;">Land area</th>

Awesome!!! Thank you! :)

RE: Jukka Korpela... I'm pretty sure I've seen him answering questions on the CSS-d and HTML5 email lists.
