What Markdown can do here

Articles are plain Markdown. Astro processes GitHub-flavored Markdown, including tables, task lists and footnotes. A few examples:

Headings and text#

Two to four # create subheadings. Bold, italic, inline code and links work as usual.

Lists#

  • Regular bullet lists with -
  • or numbered
    • nested as well

Code#

// Code blocks with syntax highlighting
export function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

Quotes and tables#

A blockquote for the important things.

Element Supported
Tables yes
Footnotes yes
Emojis also 😉

Callouts#

GitHub-style callouts for important information:

Note

Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.

Tip

Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

Warning

Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

Caution

Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.
