Tips to write blog .md
Introduction
This blog post highlights the key features of to write the posts markdwon.
Tips
Tabs for something else
! You should have tabs: true
in the YAML front matter.
-
Regular text
-
A quote
-
Hipster list
- brunch
- fixie
- raybans
- messenger bag
post with citation
If you place citation: true
in the YAML front matter, it displays the citation reference in the below of the post.
Image with fancy options
You can check the forms in the Advanced Image.
You should place the key options in the YAML front matter, too!
images:
compare: true
slider: true
w jupyter notebook
There exits a Jekyll Jupyter Notebook plugin.
It convets the jupyter notebook to html site.
Since Kramdown automatically renders the jekyll’s markdown, we should use the ::nomarkdown tag to process the following text without Kramdown.
{::nomarkdown}
{% assign jupyter_path = "assets/jupyter/blog.ipynb" | relative_url %}
{% capture notebook_exists %}{% file_exists assets/jupyter/blog.ipynb %}{% endcapture %}
{% if notebook_exists == "true" %}
{% jupyter_notebook jupyter_path %}
{% else %}
<p>Sorry, the notebook you are looking for does not exist.</p>
{% endif %}
{:/nomarkdown}
No front matter is needed, only the nomarkdwon tag!
You can see the randering results in a post with jupyter notebook
Custom blockquotes
You can use pre-defined scss for the quote block.
The examples are below.
> ##### WARNING
>
> This is a warning, and thus should
> be used when you want to warn the user
{: .block-warning }
WARNING
This is a warning, and thus should be used when you want to warn the user
The {: .block-warning }
makes the former quote block changed to the additional scss.
More options : {: .block-tip }
, {: .block-danger }
Post with table of contents
YAML front matter
toc:
sidebar: left
More customization of toc can be learned through bootstrap-toc.
Redirct post
redirect: /assets/pdf/example_pdf.pdf
It directly redirct to the file.

.
You should follow the grammar of MathJax 3 engine.

\sum_{k=1}^\infty |\langle x, e_k \rangle|^2 \leq \|x\|^2
$$

`` c++`.
