A tutorial on rendering Markdown in Elixir and Phoenix using MDEx
This tutorial teaches you how to render Markdown in Elixir and Phoenix applications using a library called MDEx. You'll build a blog where posts are written in Markdown and displayed with syntax highlighting, headers, and appropriate typography. Key topics include using the `to_html` function for dynamic database content, the MDEx compile-time sigil for performance, integrating Markdown with Phoenix LiveView, and enhancing formatting with the Tailwind Typography plugin.
