## Writing Posts
### Sidenotes / Margin Notes
This blog supports Tufte-style sidenotes that appear in the right margin on desktop and at the bottom of posts on mobile. To add a sidenote:
```markdown
This is some text{{< sidenote >}}This is a sidenote that appears in the margin{{< /sidenote >}} with more text following.
```
**Features:**
- On desktop (≥1200px): Notes appear as cards in the right margin, aligned with where they're referenced
- On mobile (<1200px): Notes appear in a "Notes" section at the end of the post
- Automatic numbering: `[0]`, `[1]`, `[2]`, etc.
- Bidirectional links: Click the number in text to jump to the note, click the number in the note to jump back
- Supports markdown and math: `$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$`
### Summary Breaks
Control what appears on the homepage and list pages using the `<!--more-->` separator:
```markdown
---
title: "My Post Title"
date: 2026-01-16
---
This is the introduction paragraph that will appear on list pages as the summary.
<!--more-->
Everything after this line only appears on the full post page.
```
Without `<!--more-->`, Hugo will automatically create a summary from the first ~70 words.
### Clickable Headings
All headings automatically get anchor links. Hover over any heading to see a `#` symbol appear. Click it to get a direct link to that section.
### Markdown Source Downloads
Every post automatically generates a downloadable markdown source file. At the bottom of each post page, you'll find a "Download Markdown" link that provides the original markdown source, including all shortcodes and formatting.
**Technical Details:**
- Markdown files are generated as `index.md` alongside `index.html` in each post directory
- The raw content includes front matter, shortcodes, and all original formatting
- This is configured via Hugo's custom output formats in `config.yaml`
