Understanding MDX Editor Tool

MDX Editor is a powerful tool for content creators, React developers, and documentation writers who want to combine the simplicity of Markdown with the power of JSX components. This free online MDX editor allows you to write and preview MDX content in real-time, making it perfect for crafting rich, interactive documentation.

What is MDX?

MDX is a file format that combines Markdown with JSX (the syntax extension used by React). It allows you to use components directly within your Markdown content, enabling interactive and dynamic content creation while maintaining the simplicity of Markdown syntax.

# This is MDX

Regular markdown **bold** and *italic* text works as expected.

{/* JSX comments work too */}

## Interactive components in Markdown!

<Button onClick={() => alert('Hello MDX!')}>
  Click me
</Button>

- You can use components anywhere in your Markdown
- You can import and use custom components
- You can export variables and functions

Features of Our MDX Editor Tool

  • Real-time MDX Preview: See your MDX rendered instantly as you write
  • Tabbed Interface: Separate MDX, CSS, and configuration for better organization
  • Custom Styling: Add your own CSS to customize the rendered output
  • Component Support: Use built-in components or define custom ones
  • Export Options: Copy the rendered HTML for use in other applications
  • Error Reporting: Clear error messages to help debug MDX issues

Common MDX Examples

Basic Markdown with Component

# Using Highlight Component

This paragraph demonstrates basic Markdown text.

<Highlight color="blue">This text will be highlighted in blue with white text</Highlight>

<Highlight color="#ffcc00">This text will be highlighted in yellow</Highlight>

- List item one
- List item two with **bold text**

Using Dynamic Content

export const myData = [10, 20, 30, 40];

# Dynamic Data Visualization

Below is a chart generated from the myData array:

<Chart data={myData} color="#4f46e5" />

The total value of myData is {myData.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val, 0)}.

You can use any JavaScript expression inside curly braces.

Interactive Elements

# Using Component Composition
