Markdown Next Js
- Getting Started If you have an existing project you want to integrate MDX with, check outthe installation guides. Next.js Gatsby.
- Version 0.1 (21 February 2015)Download the source code here, or download the program (assembled for Windows).
- H1> HTML tag can be aligned using the align='.' Attribute, but the Markdown. Note that whatever text you want to be displayed next to the expand.
- Import Markdown Files and Serve Its Content in Next.js Mar 29th, 2018 As @arunoda (Next.js founder) said Next.js does not support importing markdown files yet. But you can configure the Next.js webpack loaders to load raw-loader modules and import markdown files and return them as strings.
HTML Presentations Made Easy
Heads Up
reveal.js is a framework for easily creating beautiful presentations using HTML. You'll need a browser with support for CSS 3D transforms to see it in its full glory.

Oh hey, these are some notes. They'll be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you run the speaker notes server.SvelteJS rethinks reactivity and frameworks—but how? This simple Svelte 3 tutorial has the answers.

Transition Styles
You can select from different transitions, like:
Cube - Page - Concave - Linear
Themes
Reveal.js comes with a few themes built in:
Sky - Beige - Simple - Default
* Theme demos are loaded after the presentation which leads to flicker. In production you should load your theme in the <head> using a <link>.
Global State
Set data-state='something' on a slide and 'something' will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the background.
'blackout'
'soothe'
Custom Events
Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.
Clever Quotes
These guys come in two forms, inline: The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from
and block:
For years there has been a theory that millions of monkeys typing at random on millions of typewriters would reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. The Internet has proven this theory to be untrue.

Lately Next.js has been gaining a lot of steam, and I've been looking for an opportunity to give it a real shot. This website has been a Gatsby website since its inception, so I created a branch and began the conversion process. The conversion is now finished, and it's time to reflect, evaluate, and make up my mind.
🟣 gatsby code
At first I was loving hacking away so much Gatsby specific code. I removed every gatsby-* package, got rid of all the graphql, and deleted the gatsby-config.js file with a smile. All that proprietary code was replaced with plain old node functions.
By the end of it all I was definitely net negative, but I also had to add my fair share of code. My diff was nowhere near as impressive as Lee Robinson's when he converted the gatsby-starter-blog to Next.js.
👨🏼💻 development environment
Once I had things up and running, I started to notice that the Next.js development server seemed slow. I realized that Next.js operates in a very different way than Gatsby.
| Platform | Operation | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Gatsby | start | 24 seconds |
| Gatsby | build | 27 seconds |
| Next.js | start | 7 seconds |
| Next.js | build | 19 seconds |
While these numbers suggest that Next.js is faster by all accounts, the development server didn't feel that way. I believe this is because Gatsby does all the work up front, whereas Next.js builds its pages on the fly.
I much preferred Gatsby's slow start for a fast runtime, as I usually only start the server once, but navigate pages constantly while working on the site. Luckily, both sites were blazing fast once built and deployed.
🔻 markdown support
Markdown parsing and transformation is key when creating a blog. I usually rely on Gatsby's plugin ecosystem to handle all that for me, but with Next.js I was on my own. I had to become an expert at remark and its plugins in order to get the transformations I wanted. I even had to fix a bug in one of the libraries!
- GitHub Flavored Markdown
- Linked headings
- Media embeds
- Code highlighting
- External links open in new tab
In order to accomplish this I dug deep into the list of remark plugins, and leveraged a few of them to create my own parseMarkdown function. Even though it's only twenty lines of code, this simple function took a lot of investment to create, and it's still not perfect.
I still can't figure out how to highlight specific lines in code blocks. The icon next to linked headers is not showing up. I had to write custom transformers for every media embed. I lost the ability to use vscode themes for syntax highlighting.
These are necessary features in a developer blog, and these are the types of things that the gatsby-remark-* plugins provide for you
🖼️ image component
What really sparked me to try Next.js was the announcement of their image component.
Just like their development server, Next.js optimizes images on the fly to prevent long build times. Although the Next.js <Image/> component does prevent layout shift, it still feels like the image just pops in. That's why I prefer the blur up effect of Gatsby images.
But the worst thing about Next.js images is that they can't be used inside of Markdown files without writing a custom remark transformer. With Gatsby, getting optimized images from Markdown files is as simple as installing gatsby-remark-images.
This is yet another example of how the Gatsby plugin ecosystem has an answer for everything, especially when it comes to Markdown.
📚 content location
I really enjoy keeping my blog posts and their associated images in the same directory. With Next.js, all images referenced in Markdown must be stored in the /public directory. This provides more friction when authoring a blog post, and would make things more difficult if I ever wanted to move my content elsewhere in the future.
👨🏼⚖️ the verdict
Remember, I'm evaluating these two frameworks in the context of a Markdown blog. My criteria would change if I were evaluating them for a web application.
Next Js Markdown Editor
I didn't talk about things like hosting, TypeScript support, MDX support, testing, redirects, or serverless functions. But I found that Gatsby and Next.js compare similarly on those fronts.

Ultimately I chose the tool that felt like it was made specifically for Markdown blogging, the tool that offers plugins to do exactly what I want, and the tool that popularized static sites on the Jamstack.
