Details summary block
You can now add a details block
 to your article via our editor. It’s also known elsewhere as a toggle block, and it basically lets you add content into a collapsible section — great for keeping your posts neat and tidy.
Your section can have a short bit of text summarizing what the content is about. Clicking or tapping the arrow alongside it will reveal the content within this section; clicking it again will hide the content.
To add a details block, simply hit /d
 as the panel opens, and choose Details
.
Bug fixes 🐛
LaTeX issue with misunderstanding bold/em syntaxes: The __
 (double underscore) was being converted into <em>
 tags while rendering blog posts, breaking the rendering of LaTeX equations. This has now been fixed, so now equations like w=w-\\alpha{(\\sum_{i=1}^m(f_{w,b}(x^{(i)})-{y}^{(i)})x^{(i)}}/m
 will be rendered properly.
Draft stuck at "publishing" when the author is changed on the team blog: When the author of a draft is changed to another member of the team, the draft used to be stuck at the "Publishing" stage. This has now been fixed.
We want to make sure that we continue to provide you with the best possible experience, and your feedback is essential in helping us achieve that goal.
