Markdown, code, and math

Markdown is the writing format here. It keeps prose close to the page while still handling code, links, lists, and equations.

Code blocks

Fenced code blocks are syntax-highlighted during every build. Inline code uses JavaScript as the default language.

const mean = (values) => values.reduce((sum, value) => sum + value, 0) / values.length;

console.log(mean([2, 4, 8]));

Inline code works too: mean(values).

Math

Write inline math with dollar signs: $E = mc^2$. Display equations use double dollar signs:

$$\int_0^1 x^2 \, dx = \frac{1}{3}$$

The KaTeX renderer turns that LaTeX notation into static HTML while the site builds. There is no client-side math compiler to load.
