%A first post $p = 0$

You've successfully set up your shiny new math blog!

This initial post is here to show how the software works.  Posts are
written in the Markdown format using <a
href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/">Pandoc</a>.  They employ an
extended Markdown syntax as described in the <a
href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#pandocs-markdown-vs.standard-markdown">Pandoc
User Guide</a>.  You can embed LaTeX math in your posts; it will be
processed with <a
href="http://ans.hsh.no/home/mgg/gladtex/">gladTeX</a>.

Inline math is introduced with `$...$` and looks like $x \in Y$.  Math
can be embedded in post titles, as well!  To insert a block-level
equation, use `$$...$$` as a block-level Markdown element.  This
causes the math to be typeset in the `displaymath` environment.  The
results look like this:

$$\int^n_0{\ldots} = \sum^n_{i=1}{b_0 G(u^s)}
\Longrightarrow \frac{\tan x}{\lim_{h \to \infty}{\Phi}}$$

as opposed to this:

$\int^n_0{\ldots} = \sum^n_{i=1}{b_0 G(u^s)}
\Longrightarrow \frac{\tan x}{\lim_{h \to \infty}{\Phi}}$

(NOTE: if the two images immediately above are identical, then you
must run the revision control version of Pandoc, which includes an
unreleased fix!)

The content of this post can be found in the `posts` subdirectory of
your blog data directory; the rest of the content of this page can be
found in "preamble" and "postamble" files in the `templates`
subdirectory.  You can modify those files and re-run `mb` to
regenerate all of your blog content.  Note that some defaults, such as
the blog title and footer text, are probably bogus and need to be
changed.

Note that `mb` will not bother to regenerate the actual content of
your blog posts unless the corresponding source file in `posts` has
changed.

Once you have the hang of creating posts, you'll probably want to
delete this one; just delete it from the `posts` subdirectory and run
`mb`.

Enjoy!
