Markdown Features

Docusaurus supports the Markdown syntax and has some additional features.

Front Matter​

Markdown documents can have associated metadata at the top called Front Matter:

---
id: my-doc
title: My document title
description: My document description
sidebar_label: My doc
---

Markdown content

Regular Markdown links are supported using url paths or relative file paths.

Let's see how to [Create a document](../20_create/20_create).

Code Blocks​

Markdown code blocks are supported with Syntax highlighting.

```jsx title="src/components/HelloDocusaurus.js"
function HelloDocusaurus() {
    return (
        <h1>Hello, Docusaurus!</h1>
    )
}
```
src/components/HelloDocusaurus.js
function HelloDocusaurus() {
  return <h1>Hello, Docusaurus!</h1>;
}

React components​

Thanks to MDX, you can make your doc more interactive and use React components inside Markdown:

export const Highlight = ({children, color}) => (
  <span
    style={{
      backgroundColor: color,
      borderRadius: '2px',
      color: 'red',
      padding: '0.2rem',
    }}>
    {children}
  </span>
);

<Highlight color="#c7401e">Docusaurus green</Highlight> and <Highlight color="#1877F2">Facebook blue</Highlight> are my favorite colors.
