Getting Started with Next.js and MDX
Learn how to set up a powerful blog using Next.js and MDX with custom components.
Welcome to MDX Blogging
This is a sample blog post written in MDX. You can use all the power of Markdown combined with React components!
What is MDX?
MDX allows you to use JSX in your Markdown content. You can import components, export metadata, and write JSX directly in your markup.
function BlogPost() {
return <h1>Hello from JSX!</h1>;
}
This is an info callout. Perfect for highlighting important information!
Code Examples
Here's some JavaScript with syntax highlighting:
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
console.log(sayHello("MDX"));
And here's some CSS:
.button {
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #007acc, #0099ff);
border: none;
border-radius: 8px;
color: white;
padding: 12px 24px;
cursor: pointer;
transition: transform 0.2s ease;
}
.button:hover {
transform: translateY(-2px);
}
