Giving Standard Notes a Test
February 20, 2019•197 words
I don't know anything about Standard Notes. I see that it can be used as for blogging, so I'm going to give it a try.
Experimentation shows that I can type in markdown directly:
*hi*
becomes
hi
```
print("hello world")
if (5 == 3+2) {
print("equal")
}
```
becomes
print("hello world")
if (5 == 3+2) {
print("equal")
}
Unfortunately there does not seem to be any easy way to add math support through MathJax or anything else. Edit: This is not correct. Just by chance, based on what I was trying to write above, I discovered that you can add the MathJax CDN at the top of the page and enclose your math inside tags like this:
<p>$$y_{t} = \varepsilon_{t}$$</p>
and it's rendered as
$$y_{t} = \varepsilon_{t}$$
Don't ask me why that works, but it's pretty cool!
For inline: \\(y_{t}\\)
works: \(y_{t}\).
Sometimes a double dollar sign works. It does if I put it on its own line:
$$y_{t}$$
Further edit: I don't know what's going on, but now that I'm at the bottom of the page, I can use MathJax in the usual way. I must have done something strange above.
