Headers automatically get anchor links applied. Rendering of anchors can be configured using the `markdown.anchor` option.

## Links
### Internal Links
Internal links are converted to router link for SPA navigation. Also, every `README.md` or `index.md` contained in each sub-directory will automatically be converted to `index.html`, with corresponding URL `/`.

### Redirection for URLs
VitePress supports redirecting to clean links. If a link `/foo` is not found, VitePress will look for a existing `/foo/` or `/foo.html`. Conversely, when one of `/foo/` or `/foo.html` is not found, VitePress will try the other. With this feature, we can customize your website’s URLs with the official plugin [vuepress-plugin-clean-urls](https://vuepress.github.io/plugins/clean-urls/).
::: tip
Regardless of whether the permalink and clean-urls plugins are used, your relative path should be defined by the current file structure. In the above example, even though you set the path of `/foo/one.md` to `/foo/one/`, you should still access `/foo/two.md` via `./two.md`.
:::
### Page Suffix
Pages and internal links get generated with the `.html` suffix by default.
<!-- TODO: support pageSuffix
You can customize this by setting [config.markdown.pageSuffix](../config/README.md#markdown-pagesuffix).
-->
### External Links
Outbound links automatically get `target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"`:
<!-- TODO: link to config docs, was (../config/README.md#markdown-toc) -->
Rendering of the TOC can be configured using the `markdown.toc` option.

## Syntax Highlighting in Code Blocks
VitePress uses [Prism](https://prismjs.com/) to highlight language syntax in Markdown code blocks, using coloured text. Prism 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:

Since the import of the code snippets will be executed before webpack compilation, you can’t use the path alias in webpack. The default value of `@` is `process.cwd()`.

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 (`snippet` by default):
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`:
