Enhanced Syntax Highlighting: Inline code can be categorized by type, allowing for tailored syntax highlighting that improves readability and understanding of code snippets.
-
YAML Heading Properties: Each Markdown file requires a YAML heading, which includes essential properties like the page title and supporting links to types, functions, and classes.
-
External Code Usage: Instead of embedding code directly into Markdown files, users can leverage external code, promoting better organization and separation of content and code logic.
-
Organized Content Structure: The source files are neatly categorized into directories such as about, docs, getting started, and more, facilitating easy navigation and discoverability of information.

It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
