This is the so called Russian style seminar.

About typesetting
Basically markdown.
The easiest way of creating notes is to duplicate one of the previous .md files and make changes to it.
Code of conduct:
- Create a markdown file with extension
.md
; - Any file name works, however, file names begins with two-digit number would be a nice convention.
The markdown file has to include a header session that specifies the meta data. Here is an example. {% highlight text %}
title: “01.Introductions” date: 2016-06-30 author: OctoMiao summary: Some basics of statistical learning
{% endhighlight %} The---
is used to enclose the meta data. The four fields in the example is required.- The contents of the notes should be written in markdown (kramdown).
- Figures can be included simply using the markdown syntax
![](../assets/yourfolder/your-image.png)
. We suggest creating a folder with the same name of your markdown file in theassets
folder. Pay attention to the path of the image. Eventhough theassets
folder is under the same path as the file, we have to add../
to the path because jekyll will generate a folder out of this markdown file. - For images, markdown syntax is what really works. However, an image with caption is best formatted by the following code. {% highlight text %}
- For other syntax, refer to typography of neuronstar.
