::: ``` `vp-raw` class can be directly used on elements too. Style isolation is currently opt-in: ::: details - Install required deps with your preferred package manager: ```sh $ yarn add -D postcss postcss-prefix-selector ``` - Create a file named `docs/.postcssrc.cjs` and add this to it: ```js module.exports = { plugins: { 'postcss-prefix-selector': { prefix: ':not(:where(.vp-raw *))', includeFiles: [/vp-doc\.css/], transform(prefix, _selector) { const [selector, pseudo = ''] = _selector.split(/(:\S*)$/) return selector + prefix + pseudo } } } } ``` ::: ## 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

{{ todo.text }}

``` ```` **Output** ```js export default { name: 'MyComponent' // ... } ``` ```html

{{ todo.text }}

``` A [list of valid languages](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/blob/main/docs/languages.md) is available on Shiki’s 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', } } } ``` Alternatively, it's possible to highlight directly in the line by using the `// [!code hl]` comment. **Input** ```` ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Highlighted!' // [!codeㅤ hl] } } } ``` ```` **Output** ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Highlighted!' // [!code hl] } } } ``` ## Focus in Code Blocks Adding the `// [!code focus]` comment on a line will focus it and blur the other parts of the code. Additionally, you can define a number of lines to focus using `// [!code focus:]`. **Input** ```` ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Focused!' // [!codeㅤ focus] } } } ``` ```` **Output** ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Focused!' // [!code focus] } } } ``` ## Colored diffs in Code Blocks Adding the `// [!code --]` or `// [!code ++]` comments on a line will create a diff of that line, while keeping the colors of the codeblock. **Input** ```` ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Removed' // [!codeㅤ --] msg: 'Added' // [!codeㅤ ++] } } } ``` ```` **Output** ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Removed' // [!code --] msg: 'Added' // [!code ++] } } } ``` ## Errors and warnings Adding the `// [!code warning]` or `// [!code error]` comments on a line will color it accordingly. **Input** ```` ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Error', // [!codeㅤ error] msg: 'Warning' // [!codeㅤ warning] } } } ``` ```` **Output** ```js export default { data () { return { msg: 'Error', // [!code error] msg: 'Warning' // [!code warning] } } } ``` ## 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#} <<< @/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 ``` **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#usage anchor: { permalink: anchor.permalink.headerLink() }, // options for @mdit-vue/plugin-toc // https://github.com/mdit-vue/mdit-vue/tree/main/packages/plugin-toc#options 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).
