What if I forget the syntax? Don't worry, tmdx will help you! Ask AI for help! For example, if you forgot how to create a table, you say "how to create a table in markdown", AI will give you the answer. Or just simply type "2x2 table" in the editor, AI will complete the table syntax for you.
Why choose tmdx
You may have used github copilot, cursor, etc. they are all AI code completion tools, but they are for code, not for markdown. You may have used microsoft office 365 copilot, but it's for word, not for markdown, not easy for web publishing.
If you are a content creator, you may need a tool that can help you write your posts quickly, tmdx is the tool you need.
Basic structure of tmdx markdown file
We use yaml frontmatter to store metadata of the post, such as title, slug, description, tags, cover, etc. after the yaml frontmatter, we use markdown syntax to write the content of the post.
So the basic structure of tmdx markdown file is:
---
title: how to use tmdx to write your posts
slug: how-to-use-tmdx-editor
description: this post will show you how to use tmdx editor
tags: [tmdx, markdown, editor]
cover: /post-cover1.png
---The frontmatter part should be at the beginning of the file, and the content part should be after the frontmatter.
The content part is the main part of the post, you can use markdown syntax to write your content.
How to use AI completion
AI completion is a builtin feature, when you typing, we will use AI to give you some suggestions. If you like the suggestion, you can press the tab key to accept it. If you don't like it, just keep typing, the suggestion will disappear.
How to talk to AI
Except for realtime AI completion, you can also talk to AI in the chat tab. You can ask AI some questions, and AI will give you the answer. We have some builtin models, deepseek and GLM for text to text generation, and flux and cogview for image generation. cogvideox for video generation.
Both AI completion and AI chat uses third party paid API, if you like these features, please upgrade to paid plan to support us!
