Test
This is a test post of how medium works. We can see how it formats text with this paragraph. Does it deal with italics as well? Yes it does.
It certainly reads a little nicer than wordpress. How does it deal with pictures?:

Fairly nicely actually. And it appears to offer options with wrapping as well which is nice. Finally, what happens when I try and paste a bunch of code into it:
n=3 #Number of polls
Polls = matrix(c(33,34,12,20,1.5, #Con, Lab, Lib, Uki, sample size(sds) 34,31,13,18,1.5, 32,31,8,11,1.5
),nrow=n,ncol=5,byrow=TRUE)
xlow=0 #set the low point of the graph x axis
xhigh=60 #set the high point of graph x axis
dx=0.01 #sets for how many poll ratings likelihoods should be calculated
r = seq(from=1,to=n,by=1)
x = seq(from =xlow, to=xhigh, by = dx)
ConDensFunc = function(r) {dnorm(x,mean=Polls[r,1],sd=Polls[r,5])}
LabDensFunc = function(r) {dnorm(x,mean=Polls[r,2],sd=Polls[r,5])}
LibDensFunc = function(r) {dnorm(x,mean=Polls[r,3],sd=Polls[r,5])}
UkiDensFunc = function(r) {dnorm(x,mean=Polls[r,4],sd=Polls[r,5])}
Actually altogether quite nice. I will read this post on a mobile phone to see what it looks like on there.
