This option adds the language label and a copy button.

When enabled, you can create expandable/collapsible note sections in your blog posts.

Source code (repo_view)

Do you want to link to the source code of your blog post? You can turn on the repo_view inside the [extra] section of your blog post.

repo_view = true
repo_url = "https://github.com/not-matthias/apollo/tree/main/content"   # Alternatively add the repo here

The repo_url can be set in the [extra] section or in your config.toml.

You can add anchor links by adding the following to your _index.md:

insert_anchor_links = "heading"
