GitHub Flavored Markdown

This page is a quick demo of GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) features in Methanol.

What is GFM?

GFM is the Markdown “dialect” used by GitHub. It extends basic Markdown with practical authoring features such as:

• Tables
• Task lists (checkboxes)
• Strikethrough
• Footnotes
• Autolink literals (URLs/emails without explicit link syntax)

In Methanol, GFM is enabled by default. You can disable it in config:

// methanol.config.js
export default () => ({
	gfm: false
})

See also: Configuration

It’s useful when you’re validating your Markdown pipeline (MDX/MD parsing, styles, and theme rendering).
