To give a post a subtitle by add a subtitle to its YAML front matter:

---
title: Subtitles and Lead Paragraphs
subtitle: Posts can have subtitles, which appear in large text beneath the title.
---

Subtitles appear beneath the title at the top of the page, in large text.

You can also use this large text style anywhere in a page by creating a paragraph with the CSS class lead. For example this:

<p class="lead">This is a "lead" paragraph. It stands out more than other
paragraphs. These can go anywhere on the page, not just at the top of
posts.</p>

Will render like this:

This is a "lead" paragraph. It stands out more than other paragraphs. These can go anywhere on the page, not just at the top of posts.

Inline elements like <code>, <kbd> and <samp> also work in subtitles and lead paragraphs:
