--- sidebar_position: 4 --- # Markdown Features Docusaurus supports **[Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax)** and a few **additional features**. ## Front Matter Markdown documents have metadata at the top called [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/): ```text title="my-doc.md" // highlight-start --- id: my-doc-id title: My document title description: My document description slug: /my-custom-url --- // highlight-end ## Markdown heading Markdown text with [links](./hello.md) ``` ## Links Regular Markdown links are supported, using url paths or relative file paths. ```md Let's see how to [Create a page](/create-a-page). ``` ```md Let's see how to [Create a page](./create-a-page.md). ``` **Result:** Let's see how to [Create a page](./create-a-page.md). ## Images Regular Markdown images are supported. You can use absolute paths to reference images in the static directory (`static/img/docusaurus.png`): ```md  ```  You can reference images relative to the current file as well. This is particularly useful to colocate images close to the Markdown files using them: ```md  ``` ## Code Blocks Markdown code blocks are supported with Syntax highlighting. ```jsx title="src/components/HelloDocusaurus.js" function HelloDocusaurus() { return ( <h1>Hello, Docusaurus!</h1> ) } ``` ```jsx title="src/components/HelloDocusaurus.js" function HelloDocusaurus() { return <h1>Hello, Docusaurus!</h1>; } ``` ## Admonitions Docusaurus has a special syntax to create admonitions and callouts: :::tip My tip Use this awesome feature option ::: :::danger Take care This action is dangerous ::: :::tip My tip Use this awesome feature option ::: :::danger Take care This action is dangerous ::: ## MDX and React Components [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/) can make your documentation more **interactive** and allows using any **React components inside Markdown**: ```jsx export const Highlight = ({children, color}) => ( <span style={{ backgroundColor: color, borderRadius: '20px', color: '#fff', padding: '10px', cursor: 'pointer', }} onClick={() => { alert(`You clicked the color ${color} with label ${children}`) }}> {children} </span> ); This is <Highlight color="#25c2a0">Docusaurus green</Highlight> ! This is <Highlight color="#1877F2">Facebook blue</Highlight> ! ``` export const Highlight = ({children, color}) => ( <span style={{ backgroundColor: color, borderRadius: '20px', color: '#fff', padding: '10px', cursor: 'pointer', }} onClick={() => { alert(`You clicked the color ${color} with label ${children}`); }}> {children} </span> ); This is <Highlight color="#25c2a0">Docusaurus green</Highlight> ! This is <Highlight color="#1877F2">Facebook blue</Highlight> !
