Writing Technical Notes With Merida

Writing Jekyll Code

Merida is built for notes that mix prose, equations, and code. This short post demonstrates the default post layout and a few common Markdown patterns.

\[X = Y + 3\]

To add new posts, create a Markdown file in _posts that follows the YYYY-MM-DD-name.ext convention and includes front matter. Inline math like $E=mc^2$ is handled by MathJax.

Jekyll also offers strong support for code snippets:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end

print_hi('Tom')

Longer examples can include lists, quotes, tables, images, and footnotes while keeping the generated page static and fast.
