Markdown Features

Docusaurus supports Markdown and a few additional features.

Front Matter

Markdown documents have metadata at the top called Front Matter:

my-doc.md

---
id: my-doc-id
title: My document title
description: My document description
slug: /my-custom-url
---

## Markdown heading

Markdown text with [links](./hello.md)

Links

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

Let's see how to [Create a page](/create-a-page).

Let's see how to [Create a page](./create-a-page.md).

Result: Let's see how to Create a page.

Images

Regular Markdown images are supported.

You can use absolute paths to reference images in the static directory (static/img/docusaurus.png):

![Docusaurus logo](/img/docusaurus.png)

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:

![Docusaurus logo](./img/docusaurus.png)

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>;
}

Admonitions

Docusaurus has a special syntax to create admonitions and callouts:

Admonitions with MDX

You can use MDX inside admonitions too!

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';

import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

:::tip[Use tabs in admonitions]

<Tabs>
  <TabItem value="apple" label="Apple">This is an apple 🍎</TabItem>
  <TabItem value="orange" label="Orange">This is an orange 🍊</TabItem>
  <TabItem value="banana" label="Banana">This is a banana 🍌</TabItem>
</Tabs>

MDX and React Components

MDX can make your documentation more interactive and allows using any React components inside Markdown:

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> !

This is Docusaurus green !

This is Facebook blue !
