How to use the editor?

Table of Contents

Image

To past image, you can use

[description of image](http://link_to_image)

or

<div align="center"><img width="200px" src="http://link_to_image"></div>

Images in a 2x2 grid:

<div align="center"><img width="45%" src="http://link_to_image"><img width="45%" src="http://link_to_image"><img width="45%" src="http://link_to_image"><img width="45%" src="http://link_to_image"></div>

Do not mix markdown’s format with html, they usually don’t work together. We currently do not host any images, you can find plenty free image host services, such as postimage.org, to host your images.

Markdown

Picobin.xyz has full support for common markdown.

CommandDescription
git statusList all new or modified files
git diffShow file differences that haven’t been staged
Third rowthis is the third row
Code
| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `git status` | List all *new or modified* files |
| `git diff` | Show file differences that **haven't been** staged |
| Third row | this is the third row |

Footnotes / reference, at the end of the document, add something like this:

[^refname]: [description](http://link_to_some_publication)

[^anotherRef]: Some words

Noticing the space to separate them. And use them in the content as:

Someone once said[^refname]: "this is wrong".

Math

Latex math are supported via Katex $$e^{ix}=\cos(x) + i\sin(x)$$

Code
$$e^{ix}=\cos(x) + i\sin(x)$$

$$\begin{aligned} \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} -\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{E}}}{\partial t} & = \frac{4\pi}{c}\vec{\mathbf{j}} \\[1em] \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{E}} & = 4 \pi \rho \\[0.5em] \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{E}}\, +\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{\partial t} & = \vec{\mathbf{0}} \\[1em] \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{B}} & = 0 \end{aligned}$$

Code
$$\begin{aligned}
\nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} -\\, \frac1c\\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{E}}}{\partial t} & = \frac{4\pi}{c}\vec{\mathbf{j}} \\\\[1em]
\nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{E}} & = 4 \pi \rho \\\\[0.5em]
\nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{E}}\\, +\\, \frac1c\\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{\partial t} & = \vec{\mathbf{0}} \\\\[1em]
\nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{B}} & = 0
\end{aligned}$$

Chemistry

With Katex extension mhchem, we’re very happy to offer the ability of writing beautiful chemistry formulas, please check mhchem site for mor examples. $$\ce{SO4^2- + Ba^2+ -> BaSO4 v}$$

Code
$$\ce{SO4^2- + Ba^2+ -> BaSO4 v}$$

Embedding video / post

Embedding Google Map

Example
Code Copy and past the embed code from a browser: menu button -> Share or embed map -> Embed a map -> COPY HTML. Notice the code was placed in a div tag to make it responsive and center alignment.
<div class="pwrapper" align="center">
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d114964.52300824488!2d-80.22945845000001!3d25.7824075!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x88d9b0a20ec8c111%3A0xff96f271ddad4f65!2sMiami%2C%20FL!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1701531338965!5m2!1sen!2sus"

Code formatting

Computer program could be highlighted automatically, the language should be detected automatically:

python

def main():
    print(“Hello World!”)

c++

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    std::cout << “Hello World!” << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Emoji

Just use it. 😅

Navigation

You can assign special ids to your html elements starting with ppost- + alphanumerical symbols. Also there are two special ids: page-header and post-title available for you to reference. Click the following link will scroll the page all the way to the top.

Code
[Top](#page-header)

Another example: the table of content of this post has a special a tag before it:

<a id="ppost-toc"></a>

Thus, you can scroll to it by put this code in your post as I did for the headers:

[↑](#ppost-toc)
