- [#10104](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/10104) [`a31bbd7ff8f3ec62ee507f72d1d25140b82ffc18`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/a31bbd7ff8f3ec62ee507f72d1d25140b82ffc18) Thanks [@remcohaszing](https://github.com/remcohaszing)! - Changes Astro's internal syntax highlighting to use rehype plugins instead of remark plugins. This provides better interoperability with other [rehype plugins](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype/blob/main/doc/plugins.md#list-of-plugins) that deal with code blocks, in particular with third party syntax highlighting plugins and [`rehype-mermaid`](https://github.com/remcohaszing/rehype-mermaid).
This may be a breaking change if you are currently using:
- a remark plugin that relies on nodes of type `html`
- a rehype plugin that depends on nodes of type `raw`.
Please review your rendered code samples carefully, and if necessary, consider using a rehype plugin that deals with the generated `element` nodes instead. You can transform the AST of raw HTML strings, or alternatively use [`hast-util-to-html`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-html) to get a string from a `raw` node.

There are no new options and no changes to how you author code blocks and syntax highlighting.
**Potentially breaking change:** While this refactor should be transparent for most projects, the transition to `shikiji` now produces a smaller HTML markup by attaching a fallback `color` style to the `pre` or `code` element, instead of to the line `span` directly. For example:
This does not affect the colors as the `span` will inherit the `color` from the parent, but if you're relying on a specific HTML markup, please check your site carefully after upgrading to verify the styles.

This means `data.astro.frontmatter` is now the _complete_ Markdown or MDX document's frontmatter, rather than an empty object.
This allows plugin authors to modify existing frontmatter, or compute new properties based on other properties. For example, say you want to compute a full image URL based on an `imageSrc` slug in your document frontmatter:
```ts
export function remarkInjectSocialImagePlugin() {
return function (tree, file) {
const { frontmatter } = file.data.astro;
frontmatter.socialImageSrc = new URL(frontmatter.imageSrc, 'https://my-blog.com/').pathname;
};
}
```
When using Content Collections, you can access this modified frontmatter using the `remarkPluginFrontmatter` property returned when rendering an entry.
**Migration instructions**
Plugin authors should now **check for user frontmatter when applying defaults.**
For example, say a remark plugin wants to apply a default `title` if none is present. Add a conditional to check if the property is present, and update if none exists:
```diff
export function remarkInjectTitlePlugin() {
return function (tree, file) {
const { frontmatter } = file.data.astro;
+ if (!frontmatter.title) {
frontmatter.title = 'Default title';
+ }
}
}
```
This differs from previous behavior, where a Markdown file's frontmatter would _always_ override frontmatter injected via remark or reype.

#### Migration
You may have disabled Astro's built-in plugins (GitHub-Flavored Markdown and Smartypants) with the `extendDefaultPlugins` option. This has now been split into 2 flags to disable each plugin individually:
-`markdown.gfm` to disable GitHub-Flavored Markdown
- [#5687](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/5687) [`e2019be6f`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/e2019be6ffa46fa33d92cfd346f9ecbe51bb7144) Thanks [@bholmesdev](https://github.com/bholmesdev)! - Give remark and rehype plugins access to user frontmatter via frontmatter injection. This means `data.astro.frontmatter` is now the _complete_ Markdown or MDX document's frontmatter, rather than an empty object.

return function (tree, file) {
const { frontmatter } = file.data.astro;
frontmatter.socialImageSrc = new URL(frontmatter.imageSrc, 'https://my-blog.com/').pathname;
};
}
```
#### Content Collections - new `remarkPluginFrontmatter` property
We have changed _inject_ frontmatter to _modify_ frontmatter in our docs to improve discoverability. This is based on support forum feedback, where "injection" is rarely the term used.
To reflect this, the `injectedFrontmatter` property has been renamed to `remarkPluginFrontmatter`. This should clarify this plugin is still separate from the `data` export Content Collections expose today.
#### Migration instructions
Plugin authors should now **check for user frontmatter when applying defaults.**
For example, say a remark plugin wants to apply a default `title` if none is present. Add a conditional to check if the property is present, and update if none exists:
```diff
export function remarkInjectTitlePlugin() {
return function (tree, file) {
const { frontmatter } = file.data.astro;
+ if (!frontmatter.title) {
frontmatter.title = 'Default title';
+ }
}
}
```
This differs from previous behavior, where a Markdown file's frontmatter would _always_ override frontmatter injected via remark or reype.

#### Markdown
- **Remove `remark-smartypants`** from Astro's default Markdown plugins.
- **Replace the `extendDefaultPlugins` option** with a simplified `gfm` boolean. This is enabled by default, and can be disabled to remove GitHub-Flavored Markdown.
- Ensure GitHub-Flavored Markdown is applied whether or not custom `remarkPlugins` or `rehypePlugins` are configured. If you want to apply custom plugins _and_ remove GFM, manually set `gfm: false` in your config.
#### MDX
- Support _all_ Markdown configuration options (except `drafts`) from your MDX integration config. This includes `syntaxHighlighting` and `shikiConfig` options to further customize the MDX renderer.
- Simplify `extendDefaults` to an `extendMarkdownConfig` option. MDX options will default to their equivalent in your Markdown config. By setting `extendMarkdownConfig` to false, you can "eject" to set your own syntax highlighting, plugins, and more.
#### Migration
To preserve your existing Markdown and MDX setup, you may need some configuration changes:
##### Smartypants manual installation
[Smartypants](https://github.com/silvenon/remark-smartypants) has been removed from Astro's default setup. If you rely on this plugin, [install `remark-smartypants`](https://github.com/silvenon/remark-smartypants#installing) and apply to your `astro.config.*`:
```diff
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+ import smartypants from 'remark-smartypants';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
+ remarkPlugins: [smartypants],
}
});
```
##### Migrate `extendDefaultPlugins` to `gfm`
You may have disabled Astro's built-in plugins (GitHub-Flavored Markdown and Smartypants) with the `extendDefaultPlugins` option. Since Smartypants has been removed, this has been renamed to `gfm`.
```diff
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
- extendDefaultPlugins: false,
+ gfm: false,
}
});
```
Additionally, applying remark and rehype plugins **no longer disables**`gfm`. You will need to opt-out manually by setting `gfm` to `false`.
##### Migrate MDX's `extendPlugins` to `extendMarkdownConfig`
You may have used the `extendPlugins` option to manage plugin defaults in MDX. This has been replaced by 2 flags:
-`extendMarkdownConfig` (`true` by default) to toggle Markdown config inheritance. This replaces the `extendPlugins: 'markdown'` option.
-`gfm` (`true` by default) to toggle GitHub-Flavored Markdown in MDX. This replaces the `extendPlugins: 'defaults'` option.
The `rehypeHeadingIds` plugin injects IDs for all headings in a Markdown document and can now also handle MDX inputs if needed. You can import and use this plugin if you need heading IDs to be injected _before_ other rehype plugins run.

Not ready to migrate to MDX? Add the legacy flag to your Astro config to re-enable the previous Markdown support.
```js
// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
legacy: {
astroFlavoredMarkdown: true,
},
});

For example, the `astro.config.mjs` could be updated to include the following. [Read the Markdown documentation](/docs/guides/markdown-content.md) for more information.
> **Note** Enabling custom `remarkPlugins` or `rehypePlugins` removes Astro's built-in support for [GitHub-flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) support, [Footnotes](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-footnotes) syntax, [Smartypants](https://github.com/silvenon/remark-smartypants). You must explicitly add these plugins to your `astro.config.mjs` file, if desired.
