MDX

With Nextra, all your .mdx files under the pages directory will be rendered with MDX, it's an advanced Markdown format with React component support.

For example, you can use import and use React components inside your Markdown files like this:

## Hello MDX
 
import { useState } from 'react'
 
export function Counter({ children }) {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
    {children}{count}
  </button>
}
 
<Counter>**Clicks**: </Counter>
