Academic is designed to give technical content creators a seamless experience. You can focus on the content and Academic handles the rest.
|
|
|
|
**Highlight your code snippets, take notes on math classes, and draw diagrams from textual representation.**
|
|
|
|
On this page, you'll find some examples of the types of technical content that can be rendered with Academic.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Code
|
|
|
|
Academic supports a Markdown extension for highlighting code syntax. You can enable this feature by toggling the `highlight` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import pandas as pd
|
|
data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
|
|
data.head()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import pandas as pd
|
|
data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
|
|
data.head()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Math
|
|
|
|
Academic supports a Markdown extension for $\LaTeX$ math. You can enable this feature by toggling the `math` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file.
|
|
|
|
To render *inline* or *block* math, wrap your LaTeX math with `$...$` or `$$...$$`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Example **math block**:
|
|
|
|
```tex
|
|
$$\gamma_{n} = \frac{
|
|
\left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T
|
|
\left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}
|
|
{\left \|\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \right \|^2}$$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
$$\gamma_{n} = \frac{ \left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T \left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}{\left \|\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \right \|^2}$$
|
|
|
|
Example **inline math** `$\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n})$` renders as $\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n})$.
|
|
|
|
Example **multi-line math** using the `\\\\` math linebreak:
|
|
|
|
```tex
|
|
$$f(k;p_0^*) = \begin{cases} p_0^* & \text{if }k=1, \\\\
|
|
1-p_0^* & \text {if }k=0.\end{cases}$$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
$$f(k;p_0^*) = \begin{cases} p_0^* & \text{if }k=1, \\\\
|
|
1-p_0^* & \text {if }k=0.\end{cases}$$
|
|
|
|
### Diagrams
|
|
|
|
Academic supports a Markdown extension for diagrams. You can enable this feature by toggling the `diagram` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file or by adding `diagram: true` to your page front matter.
|
|
|
|
An example **flowchart**:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
graph TD
|
|
A[Hard] -->|Text| B(Round)
|
|
B --> C{Decision}
|
|
C -->|One| D[Result 1]
|
|
C -->|Two| E[Result 2]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
graph TD
|
|
A[Hard] -->|Text| B(Round)
|
|
B --> C{Decision}
|
|
C -->|One| D[Result 1]
|
|
C -->|Two| E[Result 2]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An example **sequence diagram**:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
sequenceDiagram
|
|
Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
|
|
loop Healthcheck
|
|
John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
|
|
end
|
|
Note right of John: Rational thoughts!
|
|
John-->>Alice: Great!
|
|
John->>Bob: How about you?
|
|
Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
sequenceDiagram
|
|
Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
|
|
loop Healthcheck
|
|
John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
|
|
end
|
|
Note right of John: Rational thoughts!
|
|
John-->>Alice: Great!
|
|
John->>Bob: How about you?
|
|
Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
|
|
```
|

|
|
### Todo lists
|
|
|
|
You can even write your todo lists in Academic too:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
- [x] Write math example
|
|
- [x] Write diagram example
|
|
- [ ] Do something else
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
- [x] Write math example
|
|
- [x] Write diagram example
|
|
- [ ] Do something else
|
|
|
|
### Tables
|
|
|
|
Represent your data in tables:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
| First Header | Second Header |
|
|
| ------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
|
|
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
| First Header | Second Header |
|
|
| ------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
|
|
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
|
|
|
|
### Asides
|
|
|
|
Academic supports a [shortcode for asides](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/#alerts), also referred to as *notices*, *hints*, or *alerts*. By wrapping a paragraph in `{{%/* alert note */%}} ... {{%/* /alert */%}}`, it will render as an aside.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
{{%/* alert note */%}}
|
|
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
|
|
{{%/* /alert */%}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
{{% alert note %}}
|
|
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
|
|
{{% /alert %}}
|
|
|
|
### Spoilers
|
|
|
|
Add a spoiler to a page to reveal text, such as an answer to a question, after a button is clicked.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
{{</* spoiler text="Click to view the spoiler" */>}}
|
|
You found me!
|
|
{{</* /spoiler */>}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
{{< spoiler text="Click to view the spoiler" >}} You found me! {{< /spoiler >}}
|
|
|
|
### Icons
|
|
|
|
Academic enables you to use a wide range of [icons from _Font Awesome_ and _Academicons_](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/page-builder/#icons) in addition to [emojis](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/#emojis).
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples using the `icon` shortcode to render icons:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
{{</* icon name="terminal" pack="fas" */>}} Terminal
|
|
{{</* icon name="python" pack="fab" */>}} Python
|
|
{{</* icon name="r-project" pack="fab" */>}} R
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
{{< icon name="terminal" pack="fas" >}} Terminal
|
|
{{< icon name="python" pack="fab" >}} Python
|
|
{{< icon name="r-project" pack="fab" >}} R
|
|
|
