MDX allows for certain things beyond what markdown is capable of. Content here will discuss using those features to augment or modify the default content layout.
It’s extremly important that for any rich text, or images represented through mark down, that they are left aligned. This is true even if they are within a component. Otherwise it will be processed as a regular string.
Frontmatter
You can declare frontmatter in your .mdx
files to provide specific metadata
for the theme to use.

: if true, page will be excluded from search

Smart quotes
The theme has a remark for processing straight quotes, into ‘smart’ quotes (”). However, this plugin isn’t able to process text used in custom MDX components. When using quotes in custom components, content authors should manually use “smart quotes” to adhere to the IBM Design Language content guidelines.
Custom title
You can export a Title
component in order to render a unique title for a
single page. This is particularly useful for including line breaks at a specific
location.
Note: You still need to provide a regular string title to the frontmatter for search, navigation, and the HTML header title to work.
