Markdown on Beacon Demo

Writing Math with LaTeX

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0800

Beacon supports LaTeX math. Equations are typeset at build time with KaTeX (via Hugo’s transform.ToMath), so no JavaScript is shipped to readers — the KaTeX stylesheet is only included on pages that actually contain math.

Inline math

Wrap inline expressions in $ and $. For example, the identity $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$ holds, and the golden ratio is $\varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 1.618$ .

Plain dollar signs are left alone, so writing about a $5 coffee or a $10 lunch is safe.

This post is intentionally a bit longer so you can see the table of contents in action, along with headings, images, and more.

Introduction

Beacon renders standard Markdown with sensible defaults. Everything below is just plain Markdown.

Working with headings

Headings from h2 through h4 appear in the table of contents automatically.

A third-level heading

Nested content stays readable thanks to comfortable line-height and spacing.

A fourth-level heading

Even deeply nested sections look tidy.
