MDX allows you to seamlessly blend Markdown with React components, creating powerful, interactive documentation and content. This showcase demonstrates our enhanced component library with improved typography and rich media support.

With our updated styling, text is now more readable using primary foreground colors instead of muted tones. Links are styled with color-based emphasis rather than underlines, creating a cleaner, modern appearance.

Lists and Content

Here are some enhanced list examples:

  • Bold text with better contrast
  • Italic text that stands out
  • inline code with improved styling
  • Lists that use primary text colors
  1. First numbered item with enhanced readability
  2. Second item showing improved typography
  3. Third item demonstrating consistent styling

This blockquote now uses primary text color for better readability and maintains the visual hierarchy through border styling.

Interactive Components

💡 Enhanced Components: Our MDX components now feature improved typography and rich media support for a better reading experience!

Media Components

Audio Player

Footnotes System

Academic writing often requires citations and footnotes[1]. Our footnote system provides smooth scrolling between references and notes, making it perfect for scholarly content[2].

The footnote system supports multiple references[3] and provides a clean reading experience with easy navigation between the main text and footnote sections.

Tabbed Content

Our enhanced typography system ensures better readability across all text elements:

  • Primary text uses foreground colors
  • Links are styled with color emphasis
  • Improved contrast and hierarchy

Collapsible Content

Code Examples

Enhanced code blocks with better syntax highlighting:

// Enhanced component example
function MediaShowcase({ src, type }) {
const Component = type === 'audio' ? MP3 : MP4;
return (
<Component
src={src}
controls={true}
className="enhanced-media"
/>
);
}
// Footnote component usage
interface FootNoteProps {
id: string | number;
children: ReactNode;
}
export const FootNote = ({ id, children }: FootNoteProps) => {
// Smooth scrolling implementation
return <div>{children}</div>;
};

Data Tables

Mathematical Equations

LaTeX equation rendering is now supported for mathematical expressions:

Inline Equations

You can write inline equations like E=mc2E = mc^2 or ∑i=1nxi\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i directly within your text.

Block Equations

For more complex mathematical expressions, use block equations:

∫−∞∞e−x2dx=π\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}

Another block equation:

∂2u∂t2=c2∇2u\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} = c^2 \nabla^2 u

Mathematical sets like R\mathbb{R} and C\mathbb{C} are also supported.

Conclusion

Our enhanced MDX component library provides a rich, interactive experience with:

  • Improved Typography: Better contrast and readability across all text elements
  • Rich Media Support: Audio, video, and music streaming integration
  • Academic Features: Comprehensive footnote and citation system
  • Mathematical Equations: LaTeX equation rendering with KaTeX integration
  • Interactive Elements: Tabs, accordions, and smooth navigation
  • Modern Styling: Clean, color-based link styling and consistent design

Ready to create engaging content? These components provide the perfect foundation for blogs, documentation, academic papers, and interactive content experiences!

1. ^ This is an example footnote that demonstrates the smooth scrolling functionality and enhanced styling of our footnote system.
2. ^ Academic writing benefits greatly from a well-implemented footnote system that doesn't disrupt the reading flow while providing additional context.
3. ^ Multiple footnotes can be easily managed and navigated, making complex documents more accessible and organized.
