One of the benefits of coming back to an existing wordpress blog rather than continuing to try to roll my own in github.io is that I can easily piggyback on other people writing plugins to solve the same problems. So far, the Crayon and MathJax-Latex plugins seem to fit the bill.
Testing syntax highlighting
[python]
# hello_world.py
class HelloWorld():
“””An unnecessarily complex hello world”””
def __init__(self):
print(“Hello world”)
if __name__ == “__main__”:
hello = HelloWorld()
[/python]
Testing Latex / Math
$$
\begin{align}
J(\theta) &= \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^{m}Cost(h_\theta(x)^{(i)},y^{(i)}) \\
Cost(h_\theta(x),y) &= -log(h_\theta(x))& y=1 \\
Cost(h_\theta(x),y) &= -log(1-h_\theta(x))& y=0
\end{align}
$$
