Sample post — how publishing works

This page shows how writing for danwertheimer.com works from Notion.

How to publish

1. Write your post as a page in this database — the page body becomes the article body.
2. Fill in Type (Essay or TIL), Description, Summary, and Tags.
3. Flip Status to Published. A Notion automation pings Netlify, and the site rebuilds in about two minutes.

Flip Status back to Draft to unpublish.

What converts

Code blocks with syntax highlighting:

def hello(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}"

Equations render through KaTeX:

$v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}$

Quotes become styled pull-quotes on the site.

Images are downloaded at build time (Notion’s image links expire after an hour, so the build makes permanent copies).

Delete this page whenever — it’s just a demo.
