Getting started

For this blog, I am using the poole/hyde example. Unfortunately, this repo does not seem to be maintained anymore, and the list of pull requests has grown steadily since 2015. The main modifications I had to make to run this blog are:

• in _config.yml:
  • change the markdown to kramdown
  • remove relative_permalinks: true
  • add the gems jekyll-paginate, jekyll-seo-tag, jekyll-sitemap, jekyll-gist
• in the _includes/head.html
  • replace the ` { { site.baseurl }} ` with a simple slash

I also added Mathjax. I found online different approaches to do that. What seems to work was to add the Mathjax script in the header of the html pages. Building on the original organization, this meant adding the script to the file _includes/head.html. Following this discussion on github, I added the following lines,

<!-- Mathjax -->
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config"> MathJax.Hub.Config({ TeX: { equationNumbers: { autoNumber: "all" } } }); </script>
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
 MathJax.Hub.Config({
   tex2jax: {
     inlineMath: [ ['$','$'], ["\\(","\\)"] ],
     displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\\[","\\]"] ],
     processEscapes: true
   }
 });
</script>
<script
src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" type="text/javascript"></script>

Let’s check that it works inline $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$. It also works in displayMath mode, \[ \mathbb{P}(A|B) = \frac{\mathbb{P}(B|A) \mathbb{P}(A)}{\mathbb{P}(B)} \]
