-The `Content` component accepts a `components` prop, which defines mappings from an HTML element name to an Astro or UI framework component (React, Vue, Svelte, etc).

-#### Using client-side UI components
+#### Render Markdoc tags as Astro components
+
+You may also configure [Markdoc tags](https://markdoc.dev/docs/tags) that map to components. You can configure a new tag from your `astro.config` like so, passiing the uppercase component name as the `render` prop:
+
+
+```js
+// astro.config.mjs
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+import markdoc from '@astrojs/markdoc';
+
+// https://astro.build/config
+export default defineConfig({
+	integrations: [
+		markdoc({
+			tags: {
+				aside: {
+					render: 'Aside',
+				},
+			},
+		}),
+	],
+});
+```
+
+Then, you can wire this render name (`'Aside'`) to a component from the `components` prop:
+
+
+```astro
+---
+import { getEntryBySlug } from 'astro:content';
+import Aside from '../components/Aside.astro';
+
+const entry = await getEntryBySlug('docs', 'why-markdoc');
+const { Content } = await entry.render();

+
+<Content
+  components={{
+    Aside: Aside,
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+#### Use client-side UI components
 
 Today, the `components` prop does not support the `client:` directive for hydrating components. To embed client-side components, create a wrapper `.astro` file to import your component and apply a `client:` directive manually.
