Markdown Middleware

The markdown middleware enables you to serve markdown files as HTML pages with automatic frontmatter parsing and syntax highlighting.

Setup

import fastro from "https://fastro.deno.dev/mod.ts";
import markdown from "https://fastro.deno.dev/middleware/markdown/mod.tsx";

const f = new fastro();
f.use(markdown());

await f.serve();

Creating Markdown Files

Create a post/hello.md file in your project:

---
title: "Hello"
description: "Hello markdown"
image: https://fastro.deno.dev/fastro.png
author: Fastro
date: 11/15/2023
tags: ["hello", "hi"]
---

# Hello, world!

This is a sample markdown file that demonstrates the capabilities of Fastro's
markdown middleware.

## Features

The middleware supports tables, code blocks, and more:

| Type | Value |
| ---- | ----- |
| x    | 42    |
| y    | 24    |

```js
console.log("hello")
```
