deep-freeform

自由格式。混合敘述、對比、反思;無固定 H2 序列。

structure

The freeform archetype is a catch-all for posts that don't fit neatly into the other 5 structured templates. It can be:

  • Hybrid — part narrative, part comparison, part reflection
  • Opinion-forward — personal commentary on industry trends with supporting evidence
  • Thematic exploration — tangentially-related events or ideas woven together thematically
  • Research synthesis — pulling together insights from multiple sources without a single narrative arc

The only constraint is the universal contract: opener, drop cap, closer with strong tag, ≥2 SVG widgets. The H2 structure is author's choice.

required widgets

  • Minimum 2 inline SVG elements — the content defines their role (comparison chart, timeline, thematic flow, etc.)

H2 structure

No fixed sequence. Examples of valid H2 patterns:

  • 「短篇名稱」, 「短篇名稱」, 「綜論」 — thematic groupings
  • 「前景」, 「背景」, 「市場演變」 — narrative order but not the standard 3-act structure
  • 「現狀」, 「異議聲浪」, 「調和觀點」, 「反思」 — dialectical structure

archetype-check rules

  • No fixed H2 sequence — any title/structure is valid
  • `<p class="vg-deep-opener">` exists
  • `<span class="vg-dropcap">` exists with exactly 1 character
  • ≥2 inline `<svg>` elements
  • `<p class="vg-deep-closer">` with `<strong>` inside (any label, not just "Take-away")
  • Universal contract only: opener, dropcap, closer with strong tag, SVG widgets

when to use

Freeform is the escape hatch. If a story is genuinely multi-faceted and forcing it into narrative/investigation/comparison would distort it, use freeform. Examples:

  • A news week where three related but structurally distinct announcements happened together
  • A reflection that's part personal essay, part technical explainer
  • An ecosystem analysis that doesn't fit any single archetype's shape

Warning: freeform is a tool, not a dump. The prose must still be structured and the widgets must still support the argument. Just the H2 sequence is flexible.
