How to inject custom MDX Components?

Create a custom react component.
Shadow the component with the custom component created in step 1.
All the MDX components that are used within @synesthesia/gatsby-theme-garden can be shadowed by placing the custom components under the following path ./src/@synesthesia/gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js

Example: Injecting a custom `CodeBlock` component to support Syntax Highlighting

Create a custom CodeBlock component as mentioned in the MDX Guides

Create a file named ./src/@gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js with the following content.

// the components provided by the theme
export { AnchorTag as a } from "@gatsby-theme-garden/src/components/mdx-components/anchor-tag";

// your own component to inject into mdx
export code from "./your-component"; // any code block will use this component

Embedding 3rd party content in MDX pages

This theme includes gatsby-plugin-mdx-embed so you can embed third-party content from a range of sources.

Please see the mdx-embed documentation.
