This site renders plain <strong>Markdown</strong> with <strong>LaTeX</strong> math, so I can
write posts the same way I write notes.</p>

<p>Inline math works with single dollar signs — Euler’s identity $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$ sits
right in the sentence. Display math uses double dollar signs:</p>

<div class="kdmath">$$
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}.
$$</div>

<p>You can write matrices, sums, and the usual machinery:</p>

<div class="kdmath">$$
\nabla_\theta J(\theta) = \mathbb{E}_{\tau \sim \pi_\theta}
\left[ \sum_{t=0}^{T} \nabla_\theta \log \pi_\theta(a_t \mid s_t)\, R(\tau) \right].
$$</div>

<p>Code blocks are left untouched by the math renderer, so dollar signs inside them stay literal:</p>

<div class="language-python highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">reward</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">state</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">action</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">price</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">5</span>  <span class="c1"># a literal $5, not math
</span>    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="nf">abs</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">state</span> <span class="o">-</span> <span class="n">action</span><span class="p">)</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>That’s it — to write a new post, drop a Markdown file in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_posts/</code> named
<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">YYYY-MM-DD-title.md</code> and it shows up on the <a href="/blog/">blog</a>.</p>]]></content><author><name>Shukrullo Nazirjonov</name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[A first post to sanity-check Markdown and math rendering.]]></summary><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://vocdex.github.io/assets/img/og-default.png" /><media:content medium="image" url="https://vocdex.github.io/assets/img/og-default.png" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" /></entry></feed>
