# About markdown-it

VuePress 2 uses markdown-it as the parser for Markdown-formatted content. This parser follows the CommonMark Spec specification and provides many extension features.

In addition to the built-in Tables (GFM) and Strikethrough (GFM) features, markdown-it's plugin-based design provides rich choices for other extended syntax or features. Here is a list of related plugins available on npm.

# VuePress 2 Extensions

Thanks to VuePress's good infrastructure, we can use the markdown.* configuration option to configure all markdown-it configuration options and VuePress 2's extension configuration options.

These configuration options are independent of any theme and this theme provides them with a consistent style, so you can use them with confidence.

# Custom Containers

VuePress 2 encapsulates the markdown-it-container plugin of markdown-it through the @vuepress/container plugin to make it more convenient to use. This theme also uses this plugin to support the following 4 custom containers.
