Welcome to my personal blog! Here, I share my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge on various topics.

Key Improvements

This blog incorporates several enhancements compared to a standard Jekyll blog using the jekyll-theme-cayman:

• Enhanced CSS Styling: Features a refined and custom CSS design for a visually appealing and user-friendly experience.
• MathJax Support: Implements MathJax for rendering complex mathematical expressions and equations, making technical content more accessible.
• Night Mode: Includes a night mode option to reduce eye strain and improve readability in low-light conditions.
• Flexible Post Selection: Offers various post selection options, such as filtering by category or tag, to enhance navigation.
• Regular Updates: Ensures the blog's library and dependencies are up-to-date for optimal performance and security.
• awesome-cv Integration: Uses awesome-cv to generate professional CVs directly from the blog.
• RSS Feed Support: Provides RSS feeds via feed.xml, allowing users to subscribe to the blog.
• Bilingual Content: Supports both Chinese and English content to cater to a diverse audience.

Getting Started

To set up a local Jekyll environment, follow these steps:

gem install jekyll bundler

jekyll new myblog

cd myblog

bundle install

bundle exec jekyll serve

bundle exec jekyll serve --draft

bundle add webrick

jekyll serve

Markdown Styling

To customize syntax highlighting, use rougify:

rougify help style

rougify style github > _sass/syntax.css

rougify style gruvbox.dark > _sass/syntax.css

rougify style base16.monokai.dark > _sass/syntax.css

Audio and PDF Pipelines

To generate audio and PDF files, use the following commands:

conda activate google-cloud-env

python scripts/audio_pipeline.py --task posts --n 10

python scripts/audio_pipeline.py --task pages

python scripts/audio_pipeline.py --task notes

python scripts/audio_pipeline.py --task notes --n 100

python scripts/pdf_pipeline.py --task pages

python scripts/pdf_pipeline.py --task posts --n 10

python scripts/pdf_pipeline.py --task notes

python scripts/generate_notes_link.py

Scripts

To create a new draft post, use:

python scripts/draft.py <name>

Content Guide

• -en: Denotes English posts.
• -zh: Denotes Chinese posts.

The _posts and pages directories support both -en and -zh suffixes.

The notes directory primarily contains English content for personal learning purposes and does not require translations.
