@def title = "Eddie's Home" @def tags = ["syntax", "code"] # Welcome to my development blog This section is meant as a refresher if you're new to Franklin. Have a look at both how the website renders and the corresponding markdown (`index.md`). Modify at will to get a feeling for how things work! Ps: if you want to modify the header or footer or the general look of the website, adjust the files in * `src/_css/` and * `src/_html_parts/`. ## The base with Markdown The [standard markdown syntax](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) can be used such as titles using `#`, lists: * element with **bold** * element with _emph_ or code-blocks `inline` or with highlighting (note the `@def hascode = true` in the source to allow [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/) to do its job): ```julia abstract type Point end struct PointR2{T<:Real} <: Point x::T y::T end struct PointR3{T<:Real} <: Point x::T y::T z::T end function len(p::T) where T<:Point sqrt(sum(getfield(p, η)^2 for η ∈ fieldnames(T))) end ``` You can also quote stuff > You must have chaos within you to ... or have tables: | English | Mandarin | | --------------- | ---------- | | winnie the pooh | 维尼熊 | Note that you may have to do a bit of CSS-styling to get these elements to look the way you want them (the same holds for the whole page in fact). ### Symbols and html entities If you want a dollar sign you have to escape it like so: \$, you can also use html entities like so: → or π or, if you're using Juno for instance, you can use `\pi[TAB]` to insert the symbol as is: π (it will be converted to a html entity).[^1] If you want to show a backslash, just use it like so: \ ; if you want to force a line break, use a ` \\ ` like \\ so (this is on a new line).[^blah] If you want to show a backtick, escape it like so: \` and if you want to show a tick in inline code use double backticks like ``so ` ...``. Footnotes are nice too: [^1]: this is the text for the first footnote, you can style all this looking at `.fndef` elements; note that the whole footnote definition is _expected to be on the same line_. [^blah]: and this is a longer footnote with some blah from veggie ipsum: turnip greens yarrow ricebean rutabaga endive cauliflower sea lettuce kohlrabi amaranth water spinach avocado daikon napa cabbage asparagus winter purslane kale. Celery potato scallion desert raisin horseradish spinach carrot soko. ## Basic Franklin extensions ### Divs It is sometimes useful to have a short way to make a part of the page belong to a div so that it can be styled separately. You can do this easily with Franklin by using `@@divname ... @@`. For instance, you could want a blue background behind some text. @@colbox-blue Here we go! (this is styled in the css sheet with name "colbox-blue"). @@ Since it's just a `
` block, you can put this construction wherever you like and locally style your text. ### LaTeX and Maths Essentially three things are imitated from LaTeX 1. you can introduce definitions using `\newcommand` 1. you can use hyper-references with `\eqref`, `\cite`, ... 1. you can show nice maths (via KaTeX) The definitions can be introduced in the page or in the `config.md` (in which case they're available everywhere as opposed to just in that page). For instance, the commands `\scal` and `\R` are defined in the config file (see `src/config.md`) and can directly be used whereas the command `\E` is defined below (and therefore only available on this page): \newcommand{\E}[1]{\mathbb E\left[#1\right]} Now we can write something like $$ \varphi(\E{X}) \le \E{\varphi(X)}. \label{equation blah} $$ since we've given it the label `\label{equation blah}`, we can refer it like so: \eqref{equation blah} which can be convenient for pages that are math-heavy. In a similar vein you can cite references that would be at the bottom of the page: \citep{noether15, bezanson17}. **Note**: the LaTeX commands you define can also incorporate standard markdown (though not in a math environment) so for instance let's define a silly `\bolditalic` command. \newcommand{\bolditalic}[1]{_**!#1**_} and use it \bolditalic{here for example}. Here's another quick one, a command to change the color: \newcommand{\col}[2]{~~~#2~~~} This is \col{blue}{in blue} or \col{#bf37bc}{in #bf37bc}. ### A quick note on whitespaces For most commands you will use `#k` to refer to the $k$-th argument as in LaTeX. In order to reduce headaches, this forcibly introduces a whitespace on the left of whatever is inserted which, usually, changes nothing visible (e.g. in a math settings). However there _may be_ situations where you do not want this to happen and you know that the insertion will not clash with anything else. In that case, you should simply use `!#k` which will not introduce that whitespace. It's probably easier to see this in action: \newcommand{\pathwith}[1]{`/usr/local/bin/#1`} \newcommand{\pathwithout}[1]{`/usr/local/bin/!#1`} * with: \pathwith{script.jl}, there's a whitespace you don't want 🚫 * without: \pathwithout{script.jl} here there isn't ✅ ### Raw HTML You can include raw HTML by just surrounding a block with `~~~`. Not much more to add. This may be useful for local custom layouts like having a photo next to a text in a specific way. ~~~

Marine iguanas are truly splendid creatures. They're found on the Gálapagos islands, have skin that basically acts as a solar panel, can swim and may have the ability to adapt their body size depending on whether there's food or not.

Evolution is cool.

~~~ **Note 1**: again, entire such blocks can be made into latex-like commands via `\newcommand{\mynewblock}[1]{...}`. **Note 2**: whatever is in a raw HTML block is *not* further processed (so you can't have LaTeX in there for instance). A partial way around this is to use `@@...` blocks which *will* be recursively parsed. The following code gives the same result as above with the small difference that there is LaTeX being processed in the inner div. @@row @@container @@left ![](/assets/rndimg.jpg) @@ @@ Marine iguanas are **truly splendid** creatures. They're not found in equations like $\exp(-i\pi)+1$. But they're still quite cool. ~~~
~~~ @@ ## Pages and structure Here are a few empty pages connecting to the menu links to show where files can go and the resulting paths. (It's probably best if you look at the source folder for this). * [menu 1](/menu1/) * [menu 2](/menu2/) * [menu 3](/menu3/) ## References (not really) * \biblabel{noether15}{Noether (1915)} **Noether**, Körper und Systeme rationaler Funktionen, 1915. * \biblabel{bezanson17}{Bezanson et al. (2017)} **Bezanson**, **Edelman**, **Karpinski** and **Shah**, [Julia: a fresh approach to numerical computing](https://julialang.org/research/julia-fresh-approach-BEKS.pdf), SIAM review 2017. ## Header and Footer As you can see here at the bottom of the page, there is a footer which you may want on all pages but for instance you may want the date of last modification to be displayed. In a fashion heavily inspired by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io), you can write things like ```html Last modified: {{ fill fd_mtime }}. ``` (cf. `src/_html_parts/page_foot.html`) which will then replace these braces with the content of a dictionary of variables at the key `fd_mtime`. This dictionary of variables is accessed locally by pages through `@def varname = value` and globally through the `config.md` page via the same syntax. There's a few other such functions of the form `{{fname p₁ p₂}}` as well as support for conditional blocks. If you wander through the `src/_html_parts/` folder and its content, you should be able to see those in action.
