Basis

I made great use of the documentation and the the following blogposts:

• Make a Hugo blog from scratch (2019)
• Start a blog in 30 minutes with Hugo, a static site generator written in Go (2018)
• Hugo Tranquilpeak Gitlab or how to static blog in 2020
• Using Hugo, GitLab Pages, and Cloudflare to create and run this Website (2019)

I wrote the hugo theme for this website from scratch, reusing the styling from the already existing html pages.

Design choices

Go with MathJax, keep looking at katex. See Math rendering.
