Docusaurus supports Markdown and a few additional features.
Front Matter
Markdown documents have metadata at the top called Front Matter:
---
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.

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, as shown in the extra guides.
Code Blocks
Markdown code blocks are supported with Syntax highlighting.
```jsx title="src/components/HelloDocusaurus.js"
function HelloDocusaurus() {
return (
<h1>Hello, Docusaurus!</h1>
)
}
```
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
:::

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 !
