Mintlify supports standard markdown syntax for formatting text, creating headers, adding links, and styling your documentation content. You can combine markdown with MDX components for rich, interactive documentation.

Titles and headings

Use markdown headings to structure your documentation and create a clear content hierarchy.

Section headers

Best used for section headers.
## Titles

Subsection headers

Best used for subsection headers.
### Subtitles
Each title and subtitle creates an anchor and also shows up on the table of contents on the right.

Text formatting

We support most markdown formatting. Simply add **, _, or ~ around text to format it.

Basic formatting

StyleHow to write itResult
Bold**bold**bold
Italic_italic_italic
Strikethrough~strikethrough~strikethrough
You can combine these. For example, write **_bold and italic_** to get bold and italic text.

Superscript and subscript

You need to use HTML to write superscript and subscript text. That is, add <sup> or <sub> around your text.
Text SizeHow to write itResult
Superscript<sup>superscript</sup>superscript
Subscript<sub>subscript</sub>subscript
HTML tags work seamlessly within markdown files, giving you additional formatting flexibility when needed.

Linking to pages

You can add a link by wrapping text in [](). You would write [link to google](https://google.com) to link to google.

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are useful for highlighting important information or quotes from external sources.

Singleline

To create a blockquote, add a > in front of a paragraph.
Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.
> Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.

Multiline

Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle. The Witch bade her clean the pots and kettles and sweep the floor and keep the fire fed with wood.
> Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.
>
> The Witch bade her clean the pots and kettles and sweep the floor and keep the fire fed with wood.
Use > at the start of each line for multiline blockquotes, including empty lines.

LaTeX

Mintlify supports LaTeX through the Latex component for mathematical expressions and formulas. 8 x (vk x H1 - H2) = (0,1)
<Latex>8 x (vk x H1 - H2) = (0,1)</Latex>
Use the Latex component for complex mathematical notation in technical documentation.
