Add footnotes using placeholders like this: [^1]. 
Alternatively you can use ‘n’ rather than numbers [^n] so you don’t have to worry about which number
you are on. At the very end of your post, you can define your matching footnotes as shown below:

[^1]: This is my first footnote
[^n]: A final footnote

Add extra classes by suffixing elements with `{:.classname}`

Use backticks for inline code: `some command here` within a paragraph

For longer blocks and different language syntax highlighting:

<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span class="nb">cd </span>somedir
xcode-select <span class="nt">-p</span> </code></pre></figure>
