This sample post is mainly for
[**blogdown**](https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown) users. If you do not use
**blogdown**, you can skip the first section.
# 1. Markdown or R Markdown
This is a post written in plain Markdown (`*.md`) instead of R Markdown
(`*.Rmd`). The major differences are:
1. You cannot run any R code in a plain Markdown document, whereas in an R
Markdown document, you can embed R code chunks (```` ```{r} ````);
2. A plain Markdown post is rendered through
[Goldmark](https://gohugo.io/overview/configuration/) by default, and an R
Markdown document is compiled by
[**rmarkdown**](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com) and
[Pandoc](http://pandoc.org).
There are differences in syntax between Goldmark's Markdown and Pandoc's
Markdown. For example, Goldmark does not support LaTeX math and Pandoc does. I
have added the KaTeX support to this theme (i.e.,
[hugo-xmin](https://github.com/yihui/hugo-xmin))
As of Hugo v0.122.0, you can enable typesetting \(\LaTeX\) math in Markdown using
the standard syntax. To do so, you have make use of the goldmark `passthrough`
extension inside your config file (e.g., `hugo.yaml`). Afterwards you can use
standard \(\TeX\) syntax (inline: `\( ... \)`; display style: `$$ ... $$`) to
display formulae, e.g., \(S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i\). For details, please refer to
the official [Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/content-management/mathematics/).
Alternatively, you may see
[this post](https://yihui.org/en/2018/07/latex-math-markdown/) for a general
solution, which works with any Hugo version and requires no configuration.
When creating a new post, you have to decide whether the post format is Markdown
or R Markdown, and this can be done via the `rmd` argument of the function
`blogdown::new_post()`, e.g.
``` r
blogdown::new_post("Post Title", rmd = FALSE)
```
Actually I recommend you to use the RStudio addin "New Post" instead:

A paragraph (with a footnote):

[^1]: I'm sure you are bored by the text here.
A blockquote (a gray bar at the left and lightgray background):
> Quisque mattis volutpat lorem vitae feugiat. Praesent porta est quis porta

Some code (with a drop-shadow effect):
``` js
(function() {
var quotes = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote'), i, quote;
for (i = 0; i < quotes.length; i++) {
quote = quotes[i];
var n = quote.children.length;
if (n === 0) continue;
var el = quote.children[n - 1];
if (!el || el.nodeName !== 'P') continue;
// right-align a quote footer if it starts with ---
if (/^—/.test(el.textContent)) el.style.textAlign = 'right';
}
})();
```
A table (centered by default):
| Sepal.Length | Sepal.Width | Petal.Length | Petal.Width | Species |
|-------------:|------------:|-------------:|------------:|:--------|
| 5.1 | 3.5 | 1.4 | 0.2 | setosa |

| 4.7 | 3.2 | 1.3 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 4.6 | 3.1 | 1.5 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 5.0 | 3.6 | 1.4 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 5.4 | 3.9 | 1.7 | 0.4 | setosa |
