# Markdown Extensions
VitePress comes with built in Markdown Extensions.
## Header Anchors
Headers automatically get anchor links applied. Rendering of anchors can be configured using the `markdown.anchor` option.
## Links
Both internal and external links gets special treatments.
### Internal Links
Internal links are converted to router link for SPA navigation. Also, every `index.md` contained in each sub-directory will automatically be converted to `index.html`, with corresponding URL `/`.
For example, given the following directory structure:
```
.
├─ index.md
├─ foo
│ ├─ index.md
│ ├─ one.md
│ └─ two.md
└─ bar
├─ index.md
├─ three.md
└─ four.md
```
And providing you are in `foo/one.md`:
```md
[Home](/) <!-- sends the user to the root index.md -->
[foo](/foo/) <!-- sends the user to index.html of directory foo -->
[foo heading](./#heading) <!-- anchors user to a heading in the foo index file -->
[bar - three](../bar/three) <!-- you can omit extention -->
[bar - three](../bar/three.md) <!-- you can append .md -->
[bar - four](../bar/four.html) <!-- or you can append .html -->
```
### Page Suffix
Pages and internal links get generated with the `.html` suffix by default.
### External Links
Outbound links automatically get `target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"`:
- [vuejs.org](https://vuejs.org)
- [VitePress on GitHub](https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress)
## Frontmatter
[YAML frontmatter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/) is supported out of the box:
```yaml
---
title: Blogging Like a Hacker
lang: en-US
---
```
This data will be available to the rest of the page, along with all custom and theming components.
For more details, see [Frontmatter](./frontmatter).

## Syntax Highlighting in Code Blocks
VitePress uses [Shiki](https://shiki.matsu.io/) to highlight language syntax in Markdown code blocks, using coloured text. Shiki supports a wide variety of programming languages. All you need to do is append a valid language alias to the beginning backticks for the code block:
**Input**
````
```js
export default {
name: 'MyComponent',
// ...
}
```
````
````
```html
<ul>
<li v-for="todo in todos" :key="todo.id">
{{ todo.text }}
</li>
</ul>
```
````
**Output**
```js
export default {
name: 'MyComponent'
// ...
}
```
```html
<ul>
<li v-for="todo in todos" :key="todo.id">
{{ todo.text }}
</li>
</ul>
```
A [list of valid languages](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/blob/main/docs/languages.md) is available on Shikis repository.
You may also customize syntax highlight theme in app config. Please see [`markdown` options](../config/app-configs#markdown) for more details.
## Line Highlighting in Code Blocks
**Input**
````
```js{4}
export default {
data () {
return {
msg: 'Highlighted!'
}
}
}
```
````
**Output**
```js{4}
export default {
data () {
return {
msg: 'Highlighted!'
}
}
}
```
In addition to a single line, you can also specify multiple single lines, ranges, or both:
- Line ranges: for example `{5-8}`, `{3-10}`, `{10-17}`
- Multiple single lines: for example `{4,7,9}`
- Line ranges and single lines: for example `{4,7-13,16,23-27,40}`
**Input**
````
```js{1,4,6-8}
export default { // Highlighted
data () {
return {
msg: `Highlighted!
This line isn't highlighted,
but this and the next 2 are.`,
motd: 'VitePress is awesome',
lorem: 'ipsum'
}
}
}
```
````
**Output**
```js{1,4,6-8}
export default { // Highlighted
data () {
return {
msg: `Highlighted!
This line isn't highlighted,
but this and the next 2 are.`,
motd: 'VitePress is awesome',
lorem: 'ipsum',
}
}
}
```
## Line Numbers
You can enable line numbers for each code blocks via config:
```js
export default {
markdown: {
lineNumbers: true
}
}
```
Please see [`markdown` options](../config/app-configs#markdown) for more details.
## Import Code Snippets
You can import code snippets from existing files via following syntax:
```md
<<< @/filepath
```
It also supports [line highlighting](#line-highlighting-in-code-blocks):
```md
<<< @/filepath{highlightLines}
```
**Input**
```md
<<< @/snippets/snippet.js{2}
```
**Code file**
<<< @/snippets/snippet.js
**Output**
<<< @/snippets/snippet.js{2}
::: tip
The value of `@` corresponds to the source root. By default it's the VitePress project root, unless `srcDir` is configured.
:::
You can also use a [VS Code region](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_folding) to only include the corresponding part of the code file. You can provide a custom region name after a `#` following the filepath:
**Input**
```md
<<< @/snippets/snippet-with-region.js#snippet{1}
```
**Code file**
<<< @/snippets/snippet-with-region.js
**Output**
<<< @/snippets/snippet-with-region.js#snippet{1}
You can also specify the language inside the braces (`{}`) like this:
```md
<<< @/snippets/snippet.cs{c#}
<!-- with line highlighting: -->
<<< @/snippets/snippet.cs{1,2,4-6 c#}
```
This is helpful if source language cannot be inferred from your file extension.
## Markdown File Inclusion
You can include a markdown file in another markdown file like this:
**Input**
```md
# Docs
## Basics
<!--@include: ./parts/basics.md-->
```
**Part file** (`parts/basics.md`)
```md
Some getting started stuff.
### Configuration
Can be created using `.foorc.json`.
```
**Equivalent code**
```md
# Docs
## Basics
Some getting started stuff.
### Configuration
Can be created using `.foorc.json`.
```
::: warning
Note that this does not throw errors if your file is not present. Hence, when using this feature make sure that the contents are being rendered as expected.
:::
## Advanced Configuration
VitePress uses [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) as the Markdown renderer. A lot of the extensions above are implemented via custom plugins. You can further customize the `markdown-it` instance using the `markdown` option in `.vitepress/config.js`:
```js
const anchor = require('markdown-it-anchor')
module.exports = {
markdown: {
// options for markdown-it-anchor
// https://github.com/valeriangalliat/markdown-it-anchor#permalinks
anchor: {
permalink: anchor.permalink.headerLink()
},
// options for markdown-it-toc-done-right
toc: { level: [1, 2] },
config: (md) => {
// use more markdown-it plugins!
md.use(require('markdown-it-xxx'))
}
}
}
```
See full list of configurable properties in [Configs: App Configs](../config/app-configs#markdown).
