1. Introduction

This is a sample post that demonstrates the syntax highlighting capabilities of the Metacritical theme for Alchemist.

2. Code Examples

2.1. Elisp

Here's an example of Elisp code with syntax highlighting:

(defun alchemist-publish (&optional blog-dir theme)
  "Publish a blog with a specified THEME from BLOG-DIR."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((blog-dir (or blog-dir (alchemist--select-blog)))
         (theme (or theme alchemist-default-theme))
         (output-dir (expand-file-name "public" blog-dir)))
    ;; Export the site
    (alchemist-export-site blog-dir output-dir theme)
    ;; Return the output directory
    output-dir))

2.2. JavaScript

Here's an example of JavaScript code:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // Initialize syntax highlighting
  const blocks = document.querySelectorAll('pre.src');
  blocks.forEach(function(block) {
    block.classList.add('prettyprint');

    // Convert language class
    Array.from(block.classList).forEach(function(cls) {
      if (cls.startsWith('src-')) {
        const lang = cls.substring(4);
        block.classList.add('lang-' + lang);
      }
    });
  });

  // Initialize prettify
  prettyPrint();
});

3. Conclusion

The Metacritical theme provides excellent syntax highlighting using Org-mode's native capabilities, making it perfect for technical blogs and code-focused content.
