Post Template 01

Sun Oct 12 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) • 8 min read • Tags: writing, research

Use this layout for longform posts. It includes a variety of standard elements you might find in a Jekyll theme: headings, lists, quotes, code blocks, images, and tables.

Section heading

Start with a short introduction. Keep paragraphs brief and readable. You can include inline code like const note = "example";. Use Tufte-style footnotes for side commentary. This is a sidenote that sits in the margin on wide screens and drops inline on small screens.

Subheading with list

“A quiet interface can encourage a louder voice.” — Add quotes or pull lines here.

Reference works can live in the margin as linked sidenotes. See The Visual Display of Quantitative Information for a foundational reference.

This sentence includes a numbered footnote reference1. 1.Example of a numbered reference note in the margin.

Code sample

function collectNotes(entries) {
  return entries.filter(Boolean).map(entry => ({
    title: entry.title,
    excerpt: entry.body.slice(0, 140),
  }));
}

Inline media note

Add an image or figure reference here. You can drop a photo, illustration, or data visualization inside the template.

A margin figure can sit beside the text for quick visual context. A margin figure example. Margin figure with a short caption.

Equation sample

Equation: E = mc2

For more complex math, you can use a preformatted block and render it with your preferred math library later:

\[
\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
\]

Conclusion

Wrap up with a summary, next steps, or a call to action. Provide links to related posts or resources. Add a marginal note for extra context. Marginal notes are great for supplementary context or citations.
