How to format labs

The formatting for the labs should be done in markdown. This will then be automatically be converted to the site. For some basic information about markdown, see https://imfing.github.io/hextra/docs/guide/markdown/

LaTeX

Formulas can be formatted with LaTeX commands by place the math between dollar signs: $a + b = c = 5 M_{⊙}$ . Place the formulas between double dollar signs to put the formula on its own line:

i = 1 \sum n i = \frac{n ( n + 1 )}{2}

## LaTeX

Formulas can be formatted with LaTeX commands by place the math between dollar signs: $a + b = c = 5M$_\odot$.
Place the formulas between double dollar signs to put the formula on its own line:

$$ \sum_{i=1}^n i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}  $$

Code blocks

You can place code blocks between triple backticks. Put the language after the first set of the triple backticks to have syntax highlighting.

module run_star_extras

use star_lib
use star_def
use const_def
use math_lib

implicit none

! these routines are called by the standard run_star check_model
contains

include 'standard_run_star_extras.inc'

end module run_star_extras

You may need to remove some spaces at the beginning of this one.

    ```fortran
    module run_star_extras

    use star_lib
    use star_def
    use const_def
    use math_lib

    implicit none

    ! these routines are called by the standard run_star check_model
    contains

    include 'standard_run_star_extras.inc'

    end module run_star_extras
    ```

This will be hidden until you can see it.
