# Markdown Authoring

You must update the site to support Markdown content in blog posts and microblog statuses.

- Use the [mdex](https://hex.pm/packages/mdex) to convert markdown into HTML
    - [MDEx documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/mdex/MDEx.html)
    - Keep all content markdown -> HTML in a new module in the `Web` boundary so that any later customizations to markdown to HTML conversion are applied throughout the site

- Use the existing `body` field of the `Schema.Post`. assume this content is already markdown

- Ensure that syntax highlighting is supported in codefences
    - Use the catppuccin latte colorscheme
    - Make sure support for the following languges is available:
        - Elixir
        - Erlang
        - JavaScript (including React / JSX)
        - TypeScript
        - Bash
        - HTML
        - Markdown
        - Lua
        - JSON
        - TOML
        - SQL
        - YAML

- Enable these extensions:
    - strikethrough
    - table
    - autolink
    - tasklist
    - footnotes


You will need to update the blog show page, the status show page, the status index page, and the home page where recent statuses are shown.

Use components to reduced code duplication when possible.

If components are shared between multiple views create a new module in `lib/web/components/` for the components pertaining to a specific thing.
