MDX has the tagline markdown for the component era. It aims to make authoring with Markdown and JSX simpler, allowing you to use components for rich interaction and data-loading, while keeping long form content fun to write with classic Markdown.

This collection includes lessons on configuring MDX, setting it up specifically in Gatsby sites, and ideas for different components you can use including:

  • inline sign up form components
  • live code editing components
  • table of contents components
  • other 3rd party components like the Divider and Message components from Theme UI

Customizations like using default layouts for MDX content and styling MDX components with Theme UI are also covered.
