markdown

This module uses remark and rehype under the hood to compile markdown files into JSON AST that will be stored into the body variable.

To configure how the module will parse Markdown, you can use markdown.remarkPlugins and markdown.rehypePlugins in your nuxt.config.ts file:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  content: {
    markdown: {

      // Object syntax can be used to override default options
      remarkPlugins: {
        // Override remark-emoji options
        'remark-emoji': {
          emoticon: true
        },

        // Disable remark-gfm
        'remark-gfm': false,

        // Add remark-oembed
        'remark-oembed': {
          // Options
        }
      },

      // Array syntax can be used to add plugins
      rehypePlugins: [
        'rehype-figure'
      ]
    }
  }
})
