KaTeX

KaTeX is a fast and easy-to-use library that enables the rendering of mathematical notation, using LaTeX syntax.

You can use KaTeX inline by wrapping the expression between $ or between \\( and \\).

For example, $ \sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{(2n + 1)!} x^{2n + 1} $ would render: \sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{(2n + 1)!} x^{2n + 1}

To display the expression on its own line and centered, wrap it around $$ or between \\[ and \\].

For example, \\[ r = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2}\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(y_i - \bar{y})^2}} \\] renders: \[ r = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2}\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(y_i - \bar{y})^2}} \]

To activate KaTeX for a post, include katex = true within the [extra] section of the post's front matter. For enhanced performance and security, the JavaScript, CSS, and fonts are hosted locally.

Note: After enabling KaTeX, if you want to use $ without rendering a mathematical expression, escape it with a single backslash: \$.

Table

Here's an example of a table1. Its colours change depending on the current theme.

We're all hurtling towards death. Yet here we are, for the moment, alive. Each of us knowing we're going to die. Each of us secretly believing we won't.
