adding math support

add a field in the preamble, has_math: true

adding code

it shoud work out of the box

deploying on github.io

By default nikola works off from the src branch and output goes to the master branch.

Also you need to add the following under files/CNAME:

www.frankliu.org

This is the name from the domain provider. Also configure the repository settings: go under settings, and modify the custom domain field to

www.frankliu.org.

Finally from nikola in the src branch you can:

nikola github_deploy

This will create a new/or modify the existing branch master where the generated pages will reside.
