Text formatting

Subsections help organize longer posts.

Links

External links work like this: Google Scholar

Internal links to other pages: back to homepage

Lists

Unordered lists:

• first item

  • nested item
  • another nested item
• third item

Ordered lists:

1. step one
2. step two

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are useful for highlighting important quotes or key takeaways from your research. They stand out visually from the rest of the text.

You can also use them for citing others:

“The measure of intelligence is the ability of change.” — Albert Einstein

Images

Images can be added from external URLs:

Or from your own files in static/images/:

![description](/images/your-image.jpg)

Code blocks

For showing code or technical content:

def hello_world():
    print("Hello, world!")
    return True

# example yaml configuration
title: "My Site"
params:
  email: "example@university.nl"

Embedded videos

You can embed YouTube videos using the youtube shortcode:

Or embed any iframe with the iframe shortcode:

{{< iframe src="https://example.com/embed" title="Example embed" >}}

LinkedIn posts

The shortcode creates a clickable card that opens the LinkedIn post in a new tab.
