Dec 07, 2020 Markdown is a simple syntax that formats text as headers, lists, boldface, and so on. This markup language is popular, and you definitely have apps that support it. Here’s a quick primer on what Markdown is, and how and where you can use it.

I finally got a chance this weekend to settle on a way to include R Markdown into my blogging process. I needed to do this as my subsequent postings will involve more code chunks regarding Rook deployment and examples, and R Markdown formats and highlights code chunks like a boss! If you want to incorporate R code, math equations, and R plots like this example, follow these steps to create a tumblr blog and get your theme ready to write your first post.

Step 1: Create a tumblr Blog

Easy enough, just got to https://www.tumblr.com, sign up, login, and follow the steps to name your first blog. There will be other interstitial steps like asking how old you are, asking who you want to follow, etc. The important thing is to name your new blog and get to your Dashboard. It will look something like this:

2. When I was building my own website and blog, I chose to use Markdown in conjunction with Next.js because it’s easy, fast, and, to be honest, I enjoy writing in Markdown. In this article, I’ll walk through how I did this so you can produce a great, content-driven site of your own. This article assumes the reader is generally unfamiliar with setting up web applications with tools like npm.

tumblr has done a great job of creating a simple visual interface, but sometimes even the interface can break down and leave the user confused about where they are and what they need to do next. For instance, notice that in the red circle and just under the word Dashboard is a small triangle as if it’s pointing to the word. The light-blue on dark-blue color scheme hides that a bit, and maybe you can change that? I don’t know, but that’s the indicator that you’re on your tumblr Dashboard screen.

Step 2: Click on the Name of Your Blog

Just to the right of the word Dashboard in the screen above, you should see the word Untitled. That’s the name of the blog in this example. Click on it and you should see:

Now that little triangle thingy has moved underneath the word Untitled. That’s where we want to be.

Step 3: Click on “Customize theme”

Now, before you see the following screen, you may see a screen that tells you to verify your email address. Go do that and then get back to your blog page by following Step 2 above. Done? Okay, here’s what you’ll see:

Step 4: Click on “Edit HTML”

You’re now presented with a screen with two columns: on the left is an editor with the html code of your theme, and on the right is a preview of what your blog looks like based on the contents of the editor.

Step 5: Pay Attention!

Because the next steps are really important.

Step 6: Delete Everything in the Editor

I typically do this by making sure my mouse focus is in the editor, typing Ctrl-a (hold down the “Ctrl” key and click “a” once), and then typing the Delete key. Make sure your editor window now looks like this:

Step 7: Copy the R Markdown tumblr Theme

In a new browser tab or window, surf to

and copy the entire file by typing Ctrl-a and then Ctrl-c (or your computer may have a variant of this, for instance on Macs you would use Command-a and then Command-c, at least I think that’s right).

Step 8: Paste it into the Editor and Click “Update preview”

Now switch back to the browser tab or window that contains the tumblr editor and paste the contents into the editor, then click the green Update preview button located at the top of the screen. It should look something like this:

Step 9: Click the “Save” Button, Then the “Appearance” Button, Then the “Close” Button

Hurray! You just updated your blog theme! Now you’re well on your way to creating your first blog post with R Markdown. I’ll cover that in Part II tomorrow.

How to include code blocks in the Tumblr markdown editor using multi-line tab indentation?

Markdown Blog Engine

By default the Markdown editor in Tumblr is vary sparse. It’s unfortunate that it lacks many of the features of the StackExchange Markdown editor. In particular, the Tumblr Markdown editor lacked support for Tab-based code indentation. It also does not support the triple backtick alterantive that is built into the github flavoured markdown.

Tumblr Markdown App

To indent multiple lines with tabs, it is possible to paste the code into a text editor, tab indent, and then paste back into Tumblr. But that felt a little silly.

Pdf converter for mac wondershare. I found a discussion about inserting tabs in browser textboxes here on SuperUser. One issue is that I did not want to override the very useful behaviour that the tab key serves as a navigational aid.

There is a Chrome plugin called Textarea Code Formatter. It allows you to insert tabs into text boxes in the Chrome browser. It also allows you to highlight multiple lines and insert tabs before each selected line. In order to prevent it from overriding default tab behaviour, it is best to select “disabled” by default in the options.
