This is a test where I see where the margins are for what I am writing.
This text in this paragraph will hopefully occupy three or more lines
so I can see the full extent of the margins.

This is another test where I check to see how the characters in this
new layout are presented on the screen to the readers.

It's possible, of course, that this layout is not particularly useful
