This is a sample post. Replace it with your own content. It demonstrates the main features of the site.
Footnotes
Footnotes work out of the box with standard Markdown syntax.1 Hover over the superscript number to see a preview tooltip — no JavaScript library required, just a small custom script.
You can have multiple footnotes in a single post.2 They render at the bottom of the page with a back-link to the reference point.
Formatting
Bold text and italic text work normally. So does inline code.
Blockquotes look like this:
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
Lists
Unordered:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item with a longer explanation that wraps onto a second line
Ordered:
- First step
- Second step
- Third step
Code blocks
def answer():
return 42
Math (optional)
Set math: true in the front matter to enable LaTeX rendering via MathJax:
When enabled, you can write inline math like $E = mc^2$ or display math:
\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}\]-
This is the first footnote. It appears at the bottom of the post. You can put anything here — links, citations, asides that would interrupt the flow of the main text. ↩

This is the second footnote. In the academic tradition, footnotes are where the interesting digressions live. Don’t be afraid to use them. ↩
