## Equations
This theme supports rendering beautiful math in inline and display modes using [MathJax 3](https://www.mathjax.org/) engine.
You just need to surround your math expression with `$$`, like `$$ E = mc^2 $$`.
If you leave it inside a paragraph, it will produce an inline expression, just like $$ E = mc^2 $$.
In fact, you can also use a single dollar sign `$` to create inline formulas, such as `$ E = mc^2 $`, which will render as $ E = mc^2 $. This approach provides the same effect during TeX-based compilation, but visually it appears slightly less bold compared to double-dollar signs `$$`, making it blend more naturally with surrounding text.
To use display mode, again surround your expression with `$$` and place it as a separate paragraph.
Here is an example:
$$
\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
$$
Note that MathJax 3 is [a major re-write of MathJax](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/upgrading/whats-new-3.0.html) that brought a significant improvement to the loading and rendering speed, which is now [on par with KaTeX](http://www.intmath.com/cg5/katex-mathjax-comparison.php).

## Citations
Citations are then used in the article body with the `<d-cite>` tag.
The key attribute is a reference to the id provided in the bibliography.
The key attribute can take multiple ids, separated by commas.
The citation is presented inline like this: <d-cite key="gregor2015draw"></d-cite> (a number that displays more information on hover).
If you have an appendix, a bibliography is automatically created and populated in it.
Distill chose a numerical inline citation style to improve readability of citation dense articles and because many of the benefits of longer citations are obviated by displaying more information on hover.
However, we consider it good style to mention author last names if you discuss something at length and it fits into the flow wellthe authors are human and its nice for them to have the community associate them with their work.
---
## Footnotes
Just wrap the text you would like to show up in a footnote in a `<d-footnote>` tag.
The number of the footnote will be automatically generated.<d-footnote>This will become a hoverable footnote.</d-footnote>
---
## Code Blocks
Syntax highlighting is provided within `<d-code>` tags.
An example of inline code snippets: `<d-code language="html">let x = 10;</d-code>`.
For larger blocks of code, add a `block` attribute:
<d-code block language="javascript">
var x = 25;
function(x) {
return x * x;
}
</d-code>
**Note:** `<d-code>` blocks do not look good in the dark mode. You can instead use the standard Jekyll syntax highlight with the `highlight` liquid tag.
{% highlight javascript %}
var x = 25;
function(x) {
return x \* x;
}
{% endhighlight %}
You can also write standard Markdown code blocks in triple ticks with a language tag, for instance:
```python
def foo(x):
return x
```
---
## Interactive Plots
You can add interative plots using plotly + iframes :framed_picture:
<div class="l-page">
<iframe src="{{ '/assets/plotly/demo.html' | relative_url }}" frameborder='0' scrolling='no' height="500px" width="100%" style="border: 1px dashed grey;"></iframe>
</div>
The plot must be generated separately and saved into an HTML file.
To generate the plot that you see above, you can use the following code snippet:
{% highlight python %}
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
df = pd.read_csv(
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/earthquakes-23k.csv'
)
fig = px.density_mapbox(
df,
lat='Latitude',
lon='Longitude',
z='Magnitude',
radius=10,
center=dict(lat=0, lon=180),
zoom=0,
mapbox_style="stamen-terrain",
)
fig.show()
fig.write_html('assets/plotly/demo.html')
{% endhighlight %}
---
## Details boxes
Details boxes are collapsible boxes which hide additional information from the user. They can be added with the `details` liquid tag:
{% details Click here to know more %}
Additional details, where math $$ 2x - 1 $$ and `code` is rendered correctly.
{% enddetails %}
---
## Mermaid
This theme supports creating diagrams directly in markdown using [Mermaid](https://mermaid.js.org/). Mermaid enables users to render flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, Gantt charts, and more. Simply embed the diagram syntax within a mermaid code block.
To create a Gantt chart, you can use the following syntax:
````markdown
```mermaid
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
title A Gantt Diagram
section Section
Task A :a1, 2025-01-01, 30d
Task B :after a1, 20d
Task C :2025-01-10, 12d
```
````
And heres how it will be rendered:
```mermaid
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
title A Gantt Diagram
section Section
Task A :a1, 2025-01-01, 30d
Task B :after a1, 20d
Task C :2025-01-10, 12d
```
Similarly, you can also use it to create beautiful class diagrams:
````
```mermaid
classDiagram
direction LR
class Animal {
+String species
+int age
+makeSound()
}
class Dog {
+String breed
+bark()
}
class Cat {
+String color
+meow()
}
class Bird {
+String wingSpan
+fly()
}
class Owner {
+String name
+int age
+adoptAnimal(Animal animal)
}
Animal <|-- Dog
Animal <|-- Cat
Animal <|-- Bird
Owner "1" --> "0..*" Animal
Dog : +fetch()
Cat : +purr()
Bird : +sing()
```
````
It will be presented as:
```mermaid
classDiagram
direction LR
class Animal {
+String species
+int age
+makeSound()
}
class Dog {
+String breed
+bark()
}
class Cat {
+String color
+meow()
}
class Bird {
+String wingSpan
+fly()
}
class Owner {
+String name
+int age
+adoptAnimal(Animal animal)
}
Animal <|-- Dog
Animal <|-- Cat
Animal <|-- Bird
Owner "1" --> "0..*" Animal
Dog : +fetch()
Cat : +purr()
Bird : +sing()
```
With Mermaid, you can easily add clear and dynamic diagrams to enhance your blog content.

## Diff2Html
This theme also supports integrating [Diff2Html](https://github.com/rtfpessoa/diff2html), a tool that beautifully renders code differences (diffs) directly in markdown. Diff2Html is ideal for showcasing code changes, allowing you to clearly present additions, deletions, and modifications. Its perfect for code reviews, documentation, and tutorials where step-by-step code changes need to be highlighted—you can even introduce changes across multiple files at once.

## Leaflet
[Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/) is created by Ukrainian software engineer [Volodymyr Agafonkin](https://agafonkin.com/), allowing interactive maps to be embedded in webpages. With support for [GeoJSON data](https://geojson.org/), Leaflet allows you to highlight specific regions, making it easy to visualize geographical information in detail.
You can use the following code to load map information on [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/):

## Chartjs, Echarts and Vega-Lite
[Chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/) is a versatile JavaScript library for creating responsive and interactive charts. Supporting multiple chart types like bar, line, pie, and radar, its an ideal tool for visualizing data directly in webpages.
Heres an example of a JSON-style configuration that creates a bar chart in Chart.js:
````
```chartjs
{
"type": "bar",
"data": {
"labels": ["2017", "2018", "2019", "2020", "2021"],
"datasets": [
{
"label": "Population (millions)",
"data": [12, 15, 13, 14, 16],
"backgroundColor": "rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.6)",
"borderColor": "rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)",
"borderWidth": 1
}
]
},
"options": {
"scales": {
"y": {
"beginAtZero": true
}
}
}
}
```
````
The rendered bar chart illustrates population data from 2017 to 2021:
```chartjs
{
"type": "bar",
"data": {
"labels": ["2017", "2018", "2019", "2020", "2021"],
"datasets": [
{
"label": "Population (millions)",
"data": [12, 15, 13, 14, 16],
"backgroundColor": "rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.6)",
"borderColor": "rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)",
"borderWidth": 1
}
]
},
"options": {
"scales": {
"y": {
"beginAtZero": true
}
}
}
}
```

[ECharts](https://echarts.apache.org/) is a powerful visualization library from [Apache](https://www.apache.org/) that supports a wide range of interactive charts, including more advanced types such as scatter plots, heatmaps, and geographic maps.
The following JSON configuration creates a visually enhanced line chart that displays monthly sales data for two products.
````

## TikZ
[TikZ](https://tikz.net/) is a powerful LaTeX-based drawing tool powered by [TikZJax](https://tikzjax.com/). You can easily port TikZ drawings from papers, posters, and notes. For example, we can use the following code to illustrate Eulers formula $ e^{i \theta} = \cos \theta + i \sin \theta $:
```markdown
<script type="text/tikz">
\begin{tikzpicture}
\filldraw[fill=cyan!10, draw=blue, thick] (0,0) circle (2cm);
\draw[->, thick] (-2.5,0) -- (2.5,0) node[right] {Re};
\draw[->, thick] (0,-2.5) -- (0,2.5) node[above] {Im};
\draw[->, thick, color=purple] (0,0) -- (1.5,1.5);
\node[color=purple] at (1.1, 1.7) {$e^{i\theta}$};
\draw[thick] (0.7,0) arc (0:45:0.7);
\node at (0.9, 0.3) {$\theta$};
\draw[dashed, color=gray] (1.5,1.5) -- (1.5,0) node[below, black] {$\cos \theta$};
\draw[dashed, color=gray] (1.5,1.5) -- (0,1.5) node[left, black] {$\sin \theta$};
\node at (2.2, 0) [below] {1};
\node at (0, 2.2) [left] {$i$};
\node at (1.5,1.5) [above right, color=blue] {$(\cos \theta \, \sin \theta)$};
\end{tikzpicture}
</script>
```
The rendered output is shown below, displayed as a vector graphic
<script type="text/tikz">
\begin{tikzpicture}
\filldraw[fill=cyan!10, draw=blue, thick] (0,0) circle (2cm);
\draw[->, thick] (-2.5,0) -- (2.5,0) node[right] {Re};
\draw[->, thick] (0,-2.5) -- (0,2.5) node[above] {Im};
\draw[->, thick, color=purple] (0,0) -- (1.5,1.5);
\node[color=purple] at (1.1, 1.7) {$e^{i\theta}$};
\draw[thick] (0.7,0) arc (0:45:0.7);
\node at (0.9, 0.3) {$\theta$};
\draw[dashed, color=gray] (1.5,1.5) -- (1.5,0) node[below, black] {$\cos \theta$};
\draw[dashed, color=gray] (1.5,1.5) -- (0,1.5) node[left, black] {$\sin \theta$};
\node at (2.2, 0) [below] {1};

## Typograms
[Typograms](https://google.github.io/typograms/) are a way of combining text and graphics to convey information in a clear and visually engaging manner. Typograms are particularly effective for illustrating simple diagrams, charts, and concept visuals where text and graphics are closely integrated. The following example demonstrates a simple Typogram:
````
```typograms
___________________
/ /|
/__________________/ |
| | |
| Distill | |
| | |
| | /
|__________________|/
```
````
The rendered output is shown below
```typograms
___________________
/ /|
/__________________/ |
| | |
| Distill | |
| | |
| | /
|__________________|/
```
---
## Layouts
The main text column is referred to as the body.
It is the assumed layout of any direct descendants of the `d-article` element.
<div class="fake-img l-body">
<p>.l-body</p>
</div>
For images you want to display a little larger, try `.l-page`:
<div class="fake-img l-page">
<p>.l-page</p>
</div>
All of these have an outset variant if you want to poke out from the body text a little bit.
For instance:
<div class="fake-img l-body-outset">
<p>.l-body-outset</p>
</div>
<div class="fake-img l-page-outset">
<p>.l-page-outset</p>
</div>
Occasionally youll want to use the full browser width.
For this, use `.l-screen`.
You can also inset the element a little from the edge of the browser by using the inset variant.
<div class="fake-img l-screen">
<p>.l-screen</p>
</div>
<div class="fake-img l-screen-inset">
<p>.l-screen-inset</p>
</div>
The final layout is for marginalia, asides, and footnotes.
It does not interrupt the normal flow of `.l-body` sized text except on mobile screen sizes.
<div class="fake-img l-gutter">
<p>.l-gutter</p>
</div>
---
## Sidenotes
Distill supports sidenotes, which are like footnotes but placed in the margin of the page.
They are useful for providing additional context or references without interrupting the flow of the main text.
There are two main ways to create a sidenote:
**Using the `<aside>` tag:**
The following code creates a sidenote with **_distill's styling_** in the margin:
```html
<aside><p>This is a sidenote using aside tag.</p></aside>
```
<aside><p> This is a sidenote using `&lt;aside&gt;` tag</p> </aside>
We can also add images to sidenotes (click on the image to zoom in for a larger version):
{% raw %}
```html
<aside>
{% include figure.liquid loading="eager" path="assets/img/rhino.png" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" zoomable=true %}
<p>
F.J. Cole, “The History of Albrecht Dürers Rhinoceros in Zoological Literature,” Science, Medicine, and History: Essays on the Evolution of
Scientific Thought and Medical Practice (London, 1953), ed. E. Ashworth Underwood, 337-356. From page 71 of Edward Tuftes Visual Explanations.
</p>
</aside>
```
{% endraw %}
<aside>
{% include figure.liquid loading="eager" path="assets/img/rhino.png" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" zoomable=true %}
<p>F.J. Cole, “The History of Albrecht Dürers Rhinoceros in Zoological Literature,” Science, Medicine, and History: Essays on the Evolution of Scientific Thought and Medical Practice (London, 1953), ed. E. Ashworth Underwood, 337-356. From page 71 of Edward Tuftes Visual Explanations.</p>
</aside>
Sidenotes can also contain equations and links:
In physics, massenergy equivalence is the relationship between mass and energy in a system's rest frame. The two differ only by a multiplicative constant and the units of measurement.
<aside>
<p>This principle is defined by Einstein's famous equation: $E = mc^2$ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence" target="_blank">(Source: Wikipedia)</a></p>
</aside>
**Using the `l-gutter` class:**
The following code creates a sidenote with **_al-folio's styling_** in the margin:
```html
<div class="l-gutter"><p>This is a sidenote using l-gutter class.</p></div>
```
<div class="l-gutter">
<p> This is a sidenote using `l-gutter` class. </p>
</div>

## Other Typography?
Emphasis, aka italics, with _asterisks_ (`*asterisks*`) or _underscores_ (`_underscores_`).
Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or **underscores**.
Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**.
Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~
1. First ordered list item
2. Another item
⋅⋅\* Unordered sub-list.
3. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list
4. And another item.
⋅⋅⋅You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).
⋅⋅⋅To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces.⋅⋅
⋅⋅⋅Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph.⋅⋅
⋅⋅⋅(This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)
- Unordered list can use asterisks
* Or minuses
- Or pluses
[I'm an inline-style link](https://www.google.com)
[I'm an inline-style link with title](https://www.google.com "Google's Homepage")
[I'm a reference-style link][Arbitrary case-insensitive reference text]
[You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions][1]
Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself].
URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links.
http://www.example.com or <http://www.example.com> and sometimes
example.com (but not on Github, for example).
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.
[arbitrary case-insensitive reference text]: https://www.mozilla.org

Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
```python
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
```
```
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
```
Colons can be used to align columns.
| Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- | :-----------: | ----: |
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the
raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
| Markdown | Less | Pretty |
| -------- | --------- | ---------- |
| _Still_ | `renders` | **nicely** |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
> Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text.
> This line is part of the same quote.
Quote break.
> This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can _put_ **Markdown** into a blockquote.
Here's a line for us to start with.
This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a _separate paragraph_.
This line is also a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the _same paragraph_.
