Getting Started with MDX Blogging
Welcome to your new MDX-powered blog! This sample post demonstrates the features available in your new blogging setup.
Code Snippets with Syntax Highlighting
Here's an example of a JavaScript function with beautiful syntax highlighting:
function greet(name) {
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
return `Welcome to MDX blogging`;
}
const message = greet('Developer');
console.log(message);
TypeScript Support
TypeScript code also looks great:
interface BlogPost {
title: string;
date: Date;
content: string;
tags?: string[];
}
const createPost = (post: BlogPost): void => {
console.log(`Creating post: ${post.title}`);
// Post creation logic here
};
Python Examples
def fibonacci(n):
"""Generate Fibonacci sequence up to n terms"""
a, b = 0, 1
result = []
for _ in range(n):
result.append(a)
a, b = b, a + b
return result
print(fibonacci(10))

- Bold text for emphasis
- Italic text for subtle emphasis
