Understanding Chirpy Post Features

The Chirpy theme provides a lot of built-in features that make your blog posts interactive and visually appealing. Here are some of the most useful ones:

1. Pinned Posts

By adding pin: true to the front matter, this post will stay at the top of your homepage list.

2. Mermaid Diagrams

Chirpy supports Mermaid out of the box. Just set mermaid: true and use a code block:

graph TD
  A[Start] --> B{Is it working?}
  B -- Yes --> C[Great!]
  B -- No --> D[Check config]

3. Mathematical Expressions

With math: true, you can render LaTeX formulas like this:

\[E = mc^2\]

Or inline like $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.

4. Prompt Boxes (Admonitions)

Chirpy provides beautiful custom boxes to highlight information:
