Markdown and HTML

Jekyll supports the use of Markdown with inline HTML tags which makes it easier to quickly write posts with Jekyll, without having to worry too much about text formatting. A sample of the formatting follows.

Tables have also been extended from Markdown:

Here’s an example of an image, which is included using Markdown:

Highlighting for code in Jekyll is done using Base16 or Rouge. This theme makes use of Rouge by default.

// count to ten

for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    console.log(i);
}

// count to twenty

var j = 0;
while (j < 20) {
    j++;
    console.log(j);
}

Type on Strap uses KaTeX to display maths. Equations such as \(S_n = a \times \frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\) can be displayed inline.

Alternatively, they can be shown on a new line:

\[f(x) = \int \frac{2x^2+4x+6}{x-2}\]
