Sample blog post to learn markdown tips

This is a demo post to show you how to write blog posts with markdown. I strongly encourage you to take 5 minutes to learn how to write in markdown - it’ll teach you how to transform regular text into bold/italics/tables/etc.
I also encourage you to look at the code that created this post to learn some more advanced tips about using markdown in Beautiful Jekyll.

Here’s a code chunk:

var foo = function(x) {
  return(x + 5);
}
foo(3)

And here is the same code with syntax highlighting:

var foo = function(x) {
  return(x + 5);
}
foo(3)

And here is the same code yet again but with line numbers:

1
2
3
4
var foo = function(x) {
  return(x + 5);
}
foo(3)

Boxes

You can add notification, warning and error boxes like this:

Notification

Warning

Warning: This is a warning box.

Error

Error: This is an error box.
