Markdown Features

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.

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)

Untitled

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.
