The blog now supports plain Markdown, GitHub-flavored tables, and React components that writers can reference directly inside a post.
Custom image blocks
That component is useful when every image should inherit the same visual rules, especially if the editorial style needs framed media and captions.
Native markdown tables still work
| Element | Writer experience | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
## Heading | Familiar Markdown | Keeps drafting fast |
 | Simple image syntax | Good for standard media |
<Callout /> | Rich component | Better for repeated patterns |
Components can handle more structured layouts
| Approach | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Markdown | Straightforward essays | Limited layout control |
| MDX components | Editorial storytelling | Needs a component system |
| Schema-validated content | Long-term maintenance | Slightly more setup |
Use plain Markdown by default. Reach for components when the content pattern repeats.
Mixed authoring is the real win
You do not need every paragraph to become JSX. The ideal setup is mostly Markdown, with a few carefully designed components for images, tables, callouts, quotes, or data-heavy moments.
