This website is built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub pages. I wrote a custom theme for Jekyll using Twitter Bootstrap. The fonts I used are Nunito font the sans-serif headings and Cardo for the content; both fonts are provided by Google fonts. The syntax highlighter theme is a slightly modified version of Pygments’ pastie theme to make inline code look similar to fenced code. Finally, maths is rendered using MathJax.

Frequently asked questions

How do you enable syntax highlighting in Jekyll?

To enable syntax highlighting in Jekyll, just add these lines to your _config.yaml:

markdown: kramdown
highlighter: rouge

kramdown:
  input: GFM
  syntax_highlighter: rouge

Now you can choose a style and call it from your web page. In my case, I used a style from Pygments and I put its .css file in the assets folder of my Jekyll installation.

How did you integrate MathJax in your website?

MathJax offers support for inline formulae (like \(\sin(x^{2y}) \)) or centered equations like this:

\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

To enable MathJax in Jekyll, you just have to call it from your HTML’s page header:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.0/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" type="text/javascript"></script>

And then you can write
