How to clear layout formatting for new paragraph?
I used the markdown layout tags to build a grid of images, but the last column formatting appears to be continuing to the following paragraph. Scroll down here to see the example: https://semeiotica.com/ The markdown code is this: {||||} ![1](/posts/crest/_cartouche.png) ![5](/posts/crest/_droplet2.png) ![8](/posts/crest/_sparc_logo.png) {||||} ![3](/posts/crest/_gate2.png) ![6](/posts/crest/_NGI_logo200.png) ![9](/posts/crest/_KitLogo_Color@4x.png) {||||} ![4](/posts/crest/_mondial.png) ![7](/posts/crest/_coclimate_logo_bl.png) ![10](/posts/crest/_ae_logo.png) {||||} ![2](/posts/crest/_g.png) ![12](/posts/crest/_worldviews.png) ![11](/posts/crest/_genocartouche.png) Is there any easy fix?
Arbitrary folder structures?
If I create some folder structures in my blog's folder for additional pages, will those pages be functional on the blog? For example, will the .md file in Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1.md be published at /Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1? Addendum: if so, is this an accurate list of reserved top-level folders?

After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?
