Personal Site's Source Code

My own personal website. There is also an RSS feed for the posts---in case you're interested.

The site theme is built upon oxalorg's sakura-earthly theme.

The font in use is Montserrat.

Build should be as simple as running

$ make site

Deployment to GitHub Pages happens automatically on push to master.

Features and Non-features

TeX Notation for Math

This site uses katex to render equations. Anything between $...$ or $$...$$ is interpreted as mathematics and properly converted.

Compile LaTeX to SVG

Files in the folder with extension .tex are interpreted as images (usually used for TiKZ graphics), thus we can compile them to SVG.

If there is both path/to/bla.svg and path/to/bla.tex, the former has priority. Eventually, I shall turn it into an error.

Compile Code Blocks to Figures

Some special Markdown code blocks are converted into their output figure during compilation to HTML. The external dependencies for the backends are already pulled with Nix. Right now, the following environments are supported:

tikz
tikzcd
dot (graphviz)

Some of these environments also accept additional configurations via the code block's attributes. Check the code for each of them at <filters/figure.lua> to check the accepted attributes.

To add a new backend, edit the Pandoc filter at <filters/figure.lua> and add the necessary dependencies to <shell.nix>.

Social Media sharing

I may not be the biggest fan of social media, but I know it is here to stay. Hence, it is useful to keep in mind how my pages interact with any of these sites.

Sharing a post should show its title, its description, and a general (site-wide) banner. We achieve this via the Open Graph protocol. For customizing any tags, edit the file <templates/open-graph.html>.
