MDX Feature Showcase

Welcome to the new MoveHere content engine. This article demonstrates the powerful features we've just implemented using next-mdx-remote, rehype-pretty-code, and Tailwind Typography.

1. Custom Components

We can now embed interactive React components directly into our markdown files.

Pro Tip: Using Callouts

Use the info callout for helpful tips and supplementary information that adds value to the reader's journey.

Warning: Critical Steps

Use the warning callout for things that could go wrong, like missing deadlines or forgotten documents.

Success: Milestone Reached

Use the success callout to celebrate a step completed, like getting your BSN or signing a lease!

2. Advanced Markdown (GFM)

Thanks to remark-gfm, we now support tables and other GitHub-style markdown features.

  • Install dependencies
  • Configure MDX Remote
  • Write 10 more guides

3. Beautiful Code Highlighting

We use rehype-pretty-code with the github-dark theme to make our technical guides look professional.

// components/mdx-components.tsx
export const mdxComponents = {
  Callout,
  QuizCTA,
  FAQ,
  FAQItem,
};

4. Enhanced Typography

The @tailwindcss/typography plugin ensures that our text is readable and follows a consistent vertical rhythm. It handles:

  • Bold text and italics
  • Inline code snippets
  • External links with hover effects
  • Blockquotes:

    "Moving to a new country is a challenge, but with the right tools, it's an adventure."

5. Optimized Images

Standard markdown images are now automatically styled and can be optimized using the Next.js Image component if dimensions are provided.
