For when MDX is too much, but Markdown is too little.

Markdown and MDX influenced the design of Slashdown
Slashdown is written in TypeScript, JSON, YAML, Markdown, JavaScript, HTML

Example from the web:

    /nav .space-x-2
      [JS](#)
      [Ruby](#)

  /section #hero .rounded-lg.bg-gray-200.p-4.pb-0.overflow-hidden

    # For when MDX is too much and Markdown is too little
    *(Or you just don't like closing tags)*

  /article

    ## Slashdown is a superset of markdown.

    Using indentation and some simple syntax, you can hand write markup with more customizability and *dare I say* OOOMPH!

    It was designed for [HTMX](), [Tailwind](), and joy. In fact, this page has Tailwind's PlayCDN enabled – go to town experimenting!

    ## The basics

    ### Any line that starts with a `/` is a tag.
    By default, it will render a div, but you can name it anything you want: `/section`, `/MyComponent`, `/x-thing`.

    ### Attributes can follow:
    `/button hx-post="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML"`

    #### Common shorthands for classes and IDs:
    `/section #hero .rounded.bg-gray-200.p-4`

    #### Stacking, for organization


    ### Text at the end
    At the end of a tag, you can add ` = ` followed by anything except line breaks. This will be treated as innerText for that tag.
    `/section #hero .rounded.bg-gray-200.p-4`
