Introduction

MDX is a powerful tool that lets you use JSX in your markdown content. This means you can import and use React components directly in your markdown files!

Why MDX?

  1. Component Integration - Use React components anywhere in your content
  2. Type Safety - Full TypeScript support
  3. Flexibility - Mix markdown with custom components
  4. Performance - Static generation with Next.js

Basic Syntax

Here's a simple example:

import { MyComponent } from "./components";


# Hello World


This is regular markdown content.


<MyComponent />


And we're back to markdown!

Code Highlighting

The template includes beautiful code highlighting with copy-to-clipboard functionality:

const greeting = "Hello, MDX!";
console.log(greeting);
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

Next Steps

  • Explore the content/ directory to see more examples
  • Add your own MDX files in any folder structure
  • Customize the components in components/posts/

Happy writing!
