Introduction

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

## 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`):

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

Docusaurus logo

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:

:::tip My tip

:::danger Take care

This action is dangerous

:::
