How it works

elements option

The mdxPreprocess function has an elements option, which lets you replace markdown elements with custom components. Here's how this site uses it:

{
    elements: ["blockquote", "img", "pre"]
}
blockquote tag

The blockquote tag is replaced with a custom Svelte component. This adds custom styling and an icon at the top left corner. Example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

img tag

The img tag is replaced with a custom Svelte component. This adds loading="lazy" and a button to open the image in a new tab. Example:

A screenshot showing owner of a repo saying 'Thank you!' for a PR, and I reacted with a heart emoji
pre tag

The pre tag is replaced with a custom Svelte component. This adds a copy button. Example:

console.log("Hover to see the copy button!")

Unified transformer

makeToc function

The built-in remarkToc plugin is disabled, replaced with the makeToc function.

{
    remarkToc: {
        enable: false,
    },
}

A custom getHeadings function uses makeToc to extract headings from the .article-content container.

import { makeToc } from "mdx-svelte"
 
export type Headings = {
    id: string
    level: number
    textContent: string
}[]
 
export const getHeadings = () =>
    makeToc({
        container: ".article-content",
        headingLevels: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    })?.map((heading) => ({
        id: heading.attributes.id ?? "",
        level: Number(heading.level),
        textContent: heading.textContent,
    })) satisfies Headings
rehypeAutolinkHeadings plugin

The rehypeAutolinkHeadings plugin is customized to add a permalink icon to headings. It also adds an aria-label to the anchor tag, a class to the permalink icon, and excludes the h1 heading.

{
    rehypeAutolinkHeadings: {
        enable: true,
        options: {
            behavior: "append",
            properties: {
                class: "heading-permalink",
                "aria-label": "Permalink to this headline",
            },
            content() {
                return hastFromHtml(
                    '<svg class="icon" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 256 256"><path d="M216 152h-48v-48h48a8 8 0 0 0 0-16h-48V40a8 8 0 0 0-16 0v48h-48V40a8 8 0 0 0-16 0v48H40a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h48v48H40a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h48v48a8 8 0 0 0 16 0v-48h48v48a8 8 0 0 0 16 0v-48h48a8 8 0 0 0 0-16Zm-112 0v-48h48v48Z"/></svg>',
                )
            },
            test: ["h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6"],
        },
    },
}
