You can write regular markdown here and Hugo will automatically convert it to a nice webpage. I strongly encourage you to take 5 minutes to learn how to write in markdown - it’ll teach you how to transform regular text into bold/italics/headings/tables/etc.

A paragraph (with a footnote):

A blockquote (a blue bar at the left and lightgray background):

Quisque mattis volutpat lorem vitae feugiat. Praesent porta est quis porta imperdiet. Aenean porta, mi non cursus volutpat, mi est mollis libero, id suscipit orci urna a augue. In fringilla euismod lacus, vitae tristique massa ultricies vitae. Mauris accumsan ligula tristique, viverra nulla sed, porta sapien. Vestibulum facilisis nec nisl blandit convallis. Maecenas venenatis porta malesuada. Ut ac erat tortor. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nulla sodales quam sit amet tincidunt egestas. In et turpis at orci vestibulum ullamcorper. Aliquam sed ante libero. Sed hendrerit arcu lacus.

A table (centered by default):
