Introduction
Markdown and Mdx parsing is supported via unified
, and other remark and rehype packages. next-mdx-remote
allows us to parse .mdx
and .md
files in a more flexible manner without touching webpack.
GitHub flavored markdown is used. mdx-prism
provides syntax highlighting capabilities for code blocks. Here's a demo of how everything looks.
The following markdown cheatsheet is adapted from: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like #
or *
.
Syntax guide
Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use anywhere on GitHub.com or in your own text files.
Headers
# This is a h1 tag
## This is a h2 tag
#### This is a h4 tag
This is a h1 tag
This is a h2 tag
This is a h4 tag
Emphasis
_This text will be italic_
**This text will be bold**
_You **can** combine them_
This text will be italic
This text will be bold
You can combine them

Inline code
I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.

element here instead.
Syntax highlighting
Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:
```js:fancyAlert.js
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if (arg) {
$.facebox({ div: '#foo' })
}
}
```
And here's how it looks - nicely colored with styled code titles!
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if (arg) {
$.facebox({ div: '#foo' })
}
}

Task Lists
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item
- list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- this is a complete item
- this is an incomplete item
Tables
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens -
(for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |
:
| First Header | Second Header |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
| Content in the first column | Content in the second column |
First Header | Second Header |
---|---|
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
Content in the first column | Content in the second column |
Strikethrough
Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~
) will appear crossed out.
