If you want to turn it off globally, go to `_config.yml`{: .filepath} and set the value of variable `toc` to `false`. If you want to turn off TOC for a specific post, add the following to the post's [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/): - -```yaml ---- -toc: false ---- -``` - -## Comments - -The global switch of comments is defined by variable `comments.active` in the file `_config.yml`{: .filepath}.

But it can be enabled by: - -```yaml ---- -math: true ---- -``` - -After enabling the mathematical feature, you can add math equations with the following syntax: - -- **Block math** should be added with `$$ math $$` with **mandatory** blank lines before and after `$$` - - **Inserting equation numbering** should be added with `$$\begin{equation} math \end{equation}$$` - - **Referencing equation numbering** should be done with `\label{eq:label_name}` in the equation block and `\eqref{eq:label_name}` inline with text (see example below) -- **Inline math** (in lines) should be added with `$$ math $$` without any blank line before or after `$$` -- **Inline math** (in lists) should be added with `\$$ math $$` - -```markdown - - -$$ -LaTeX_math_expression -$$ - - - -$$ -\begin{equation} - LaTeX_math_expression - \label{eq:label_name} -\end{equation} -$$ - -Can be referenced as \eqref{eq:label_name}. - - - -"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, $$ LaTeX_math_expression $$ consectetur adipiscing elit." - - - -1. \$$ LaTeX_math_expression $$ -2. \$$ LaTeX_math_expression $$ -3. \$$ LaTeX_math_expression $$ -``` - -## Mermaid - -[**Mermaid**](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid) is a great diagram generation tool.

To solve this, we can define this path in the YAML block of the post: - -```yml ---- -img_path: /img/path/ ---- -``` - -And then, the image source of Markdown can write the file name directly: - -```md -![The flower](flower.png) -``` -{: .nolineno } - -The output will be: - -```html -The flower -``` -{: .nolineno } - -### Preview Image - -If you want to add an image at the top of the post, please provide an image with a resolution of `1200 x 630`. Please note that if the image aspect ratio does not meet `1.91 : 1`, the image will be scaled and cropped. - -Knowing these prerequisites, you can start setting the image's attribute: - -```yaml ---- -image: - path: /path/to/image - alt: image alternative text ---- -``` - -Note that the [`img_path`](#image-path) can also be passed to the preview image, that is, when it has been set, the attribute `path` only needs the image file name. - -For simple use, you can also just use `image` to define the path. - -```yml ---- -image: /path/to/image ---- -``` - -### LQIP - -For preview images: - -```yaml ---- -image: - lqip: /path/to/lqip-file # or base64 URI ---- -``` - -> You can observe LQIP in the preview image of post [_Text and Typography_](/posts/text-and-typography/). - - -For normal images: - -```markdown -![Image description](/path/to/image){: lqip="/path/to/lqip-file" } -``` -{: .nolineno } - -## Pinned Posts - -You can pin one or more posts to the top of the home page, and the fixed posts are sorted in reverse order according to their release date. Enable by: - -```yaml ---- -pin: true ---- -``` - -## Prompts - -There are several types of prompts: `tip`, `info`, `warning`, and `danger`. They can be generated by adding the class `prompt-{type}` to the blockquote. For example, define a prompt of type `info` as follows: - -```md -> Example line for prompt. -{: .prompt-info } -``` -{: .nolineno } - -## Syntax - -### Inline Code - -```md -`inline code part` -``` -{: .nolineno } - -### Filepath Hightlight - -```md -`/path/to/a/file.extend`{: .filepath} -``` -{: .nolineno } - -### Code Block - -Markdown symbols ```` ``` ```` can easily create a code block as follows: - -````md -``` -This is a plaintext code snippet. -``` -```` - -#### Specifying Language - -Using ```` ```{language} ```` you will get a code block with syntax highlight: - -````markdown -```yaml -key: value -``` -```` - -> The Jekyll tag `{% highlight %}` is not compatible with this theme. -{: .prompt-danger } - -#### Line Number - -By default, all languages except `plaintext`, `console`, and `terminal` will display line numbers. When you want to hide the line number of a code block, add the class `nolineno` to it: - -````markdown -```shell -echo 'No more line numbers!' -``` -{: .nolineno } -```` - -#### Specifying the Filename - -You may have noticed that the code language will be displayed at the top of the code block. If you want to replace it with the file name, you can add the attribute `file` to achieve this: - -````markdown -```shell -# content -``` -{: file="path/to/file" } -```` - -#### Liquid Codes - -If you want to display the **Liquid** snippet, surround the liquid code with `{% raw %}` and `{% endraw %}`: - -````markdown -{% raw %} -```liquid -{% if product.title contains 'Pack' %} - This product's title contains the word Pack. -{% endif %} -``` -{% endraw %} -```` - -Or adding `render_with_liquid: false` (Requires Jekyll 4.0 or higher) to the post's YAML block. - -## Videos - -You can embed a video with the following syntax: - -```liquid -{% include embed/{Platform}.html id='{ID}' %} -``` - -Where `Platform` is the lowercase of the platform name, and `ID` is the video ID. - -The following table shows how to get the two parameters we need in a given video URL, and you can also know the currently supported video platforms. - -| Video URL | Platform | ID | -| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | :------------- | -| [https://www.**youtube**.com/watch?v=**H-B46URT4mg**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-B46URT4mg) | `youtube` | `H-B46URT4mg` | -| [https://www.**twitch**.tv/videos/**1634779211**](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1634779211) | `twitch` | `1634779211` | -| [https://www.**bilibili**.com/video/**BV1Q44y1B7Wf**](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Q44y1B7Wf) | `bilibili` | `BV1Q44y1B7Wf` | - -## Learn More - -For more knowledge about Jekyll posts, visit the [Jekyll Docs: Posts](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/). diff --git a/_posts/2019-08-09-getting-started.md b/_posts/2019-08-09-getting-started.md deleted file mode 100644 index a411dbc..0000000 --- a/_posts/2019-08-09-getting-started.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,135 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Getting Started -author: cotes -date: 2019-08-09 20:55:00 +0800 -categories: [Blogging, Tutorial] -tags: [getting started] -pin: true -img_path: '/posts/20180809' ---- - -## Prerequisites - -Follow the instructions in the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installation of the basic environment. [Git](https://git-scm.com/) also needs to be installed. - -## Installation - -### Creating a New Site - -There are two ways to create a new repository for this theme: - -- [**Using the Chirpy Starter**](#option-1-using-the-chirpy-starter) - Easy to upgrade, isolates irrelevant project files so you can focus on writing. -- [**GitHub Fork**](#option-2-github-fork) - Convenient for custom development, but difficult to upgrade. Unless you are familiar with Jekyll and are determined to tweak or contribute to this project, this approach is not recommended. - -#### Option 1. Using the Chirpy Starter - -Sign in to GitHub and browse to [**Chirpy Starter**][starter], click the button Use this template > Create a new repository, and name the new repository `USERNAME.github.io`, where `USERNAME` represents your GitHub username. - -#### Option 2. GitHub Fork - -Sign in to GitHub to [fork **Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/fork), and then rename it to `USERNAME.github.io` (`USERNAME` means your username). - -Next, clone your site to local machine. In order to build JavaScript files later, we need to install [Node.js][nodejs], and then run the tool: - -```console -$ bash tools/init -``` - -> If you don't want to deploy your site on GitHub Pages, append option `--no-gh` at the end of the above command. -{: .prompt-info } - -The above command will: - -1. Check out the code to the [latest tag][latest-tag] (to ensure the stability of your site: as the code for the default branch is under development). -2. Remove non-essential sample files and take care of GitHub-related files. -3. Build JavaScript files and export to `assets/js/dist/`{: .filepath }, then make them tracked by Git. -4. Automatically create a new commit to save the changes above. - -### Installing Dependencies - -Before running local server for the first time, go to the root directory of your site and run: - -```console -$ bundle -``` - -## Usage - -### Configuration - -Update the variables of `_config.yml`{: .filepath} as needed. Some of them are typical options: - -- `url` -- `avatar` -- `timezone` -- `lang` - -### Social Contact Options - -Social contact options are displayed at the bottom of the sidebar. You can turn on/off the specified contacts in file `_data/contact.yml`{: .filepath }. - -### Customizing Stylesheet - -If you need to customize the stylesheet, copy the theme's `assets/css/jekyll-theme-chirpy.scss`{: .filepath} to the same path on your Jekyll site, and then add the custom style at the end of it. - -Starting with version `6.2.0`, if you want to overwrite the SASS variables defined in `_sass/addon/variables.scss`{: .filepath}, copy the main sass file `_sass/main.scss`{: .filepath} into the `_sass`{: .filepath} directory in your site's source, then create a new file `_sass/variables-hook.scss`{: .filepath} and assign new value. - -### Customing Static Assets - -Static assets configuration was introduced in version `5.1.0`. The CDN of the static assets is defined by file `_data/origin/cors.yml`{: .filepath }, and you can replace some of them according to the network conditions in the region where your website is published. - -Also, if you'd like to self-host the static assets, please refer to the [_chirpy-static-assets_](https://github.com/cotes2020/chirpy-static-assets#readme). - -### Running Local Server - -You may want to preview the site contents before publishing, so just run it by: - -```console -$ bundle exec jekyll s -``` - -After a few seconds, the local service will be published at __. - -## Deployment - -Before the deployment begins, check out the file `_config.yml`{: .filepath} and make sure the `url` is configured correctly. Furthermore, if you prefer the [**project site**](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites) and don't use a custom domain, or you want to visit your website with a base URL on a web server other than **GitHub Pages**, remember to change the `baseurl` to your project name that starts with a slash, e.g, `/project-name`. - -Now you can choose _ONE_ of the following methods to deploy your Jekyll site. - -### Deploy by Using GitHub Actions - -There are a few things to get ready for. - -- If you're on the GitHub Free plan, keep your site repository public. -- If you have committed `Gemfile.lock`{: .filepath} to the repository, and your local machine is not running Linux, go to the root of your site and update the platform list of the lock-file: - - ```console - $ bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux - ``` - -Next, configure the _Pages_ service. - -1. Browse to your repository on GitHub. Select the tab _Settings_, then click _Pages_ in the left navigation bar. Then, in the **Source** section (under _Build and deployment_), select [**GitHub Actions**][pages-workflow-src] from the dropdown menu. -![Build source](pages-source-light.png){: .light .border .normal w='375' h='140' } -![Build source](pages-source-dark.png){: .dark .normal w='375' h='140' } - -2. Push any commits to GitHub to trigger the _Actions_ workflow. In the _Actions_ tab of your repository, you should see the workflow _Build and Deploy_ running. Once the build is complete and successful, the site will be deployed automatically. - -At this point, you can go to the URL indicated by GitHub to access your site. - -### Manually Build and Deploy - -On self-hosted servers, you cannot enjoy the convenience of **GitHub Actions**. Therefore, you should build the site on your local machine and then upload the site files to the server. - -Go to the root of the source project, and build your site as follows: - -```console -$ JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll b -``` - -Unless you specified the output path, the generated site files will be placed in folder `_site`{: .filepath} of the project's root directory. Now you should upload those files to the target server. - -[nodejs]: https://nodejs.org/ -[starter]: https://github.com/cotes2020/chirpy-starter -[pages-workflow-src]: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site#publishing-with-a-custom-github-actions-workflow -[latest-tag]: https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/tags diff --git a/_posts/2019-08-11-customize-the-favicon.md b/_posts/2019-08-11-customize-the-favicon.md deleted file mode 100644 index 6a3e2da..0000000 --- a/_posts/2019-08-11-customize-the-favicon.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,36 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Customize the Favicon -author: cotes -date: 2019-08-11 00:34:00 +0800 -categories: [Blogging, Tutorial] -tags: [favicon] ---- - -The [favicons](https://www.favicon-generator.org/about/) of [**Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/) are placed in the directory `assets/img/favicons/`{: .filepath}.

Chinese Radical Lookup (RAL) +You see that the `栓` character has 3 radicals `⽊⼈⽟` in it, right? So you can type "mu ren yu" or "ren yu mu" to search for that little one. +Another way is to go to the "homepage" marked by `偏旁` (piānpáng) headword and start browsing until you find that one character: `⽊` > `⽊⼈` > `⽊⼈⽟` and all characters which contain those three radicals. + +... ... ... + +My stats show that, with 5 or fewer radicals, you can reach 95% of all modern Chinese characters (96% for simplified characters).
