- [`ba11b3399`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/ba11b33996d79c32da947986edb0f32dbcc04aaf) Thanks [@RafidMuhymin](https://github.com/RafidMuhymin)! - fixed generated slugs in markdown that ends with a dash
* [#4016](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/4016) [`00fab4ce1`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/00fab4ce135eb799cac69140403d7724686733d6) Thanks [@bholmesdev](https://github.com/bholmesdev)! - The use of components and JSX expressions in Markdown are no longer supported by default.
For long term support, migrate to the `@astrojs/mdx` integration for MDX support (including `.mdx` pages!).
Not ready to migrate to MDX? Add the legacy flag to your Astro config to re-enable the previous Markdown support.
```js
// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
legacy: {
astroFlavoredMarkdown: true,
},
});
```

This brings `markdown.mode: 'md'` in-line with our docs description.

Also supports switching between Components and Markdown without extra newlines, removes wrapping `<p>` tags from standalone components, and improves JSX expression handling.

- d396943: Add support for [`remark`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark#readme) and [`rehype`](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype#readme) plugins for both `.md` pages and `.astro` pages using the [`<Markdown>`](/docs/guides/markdown-content.md) component.
For example, the `astro.config.mjs` could be updated to include the following. [Read the Markdown documentation](/docs/guides/markdown-content.md) for more information.
> **Note** Enabling custom `remarkPlugins` or `rehypePlugins` removes Astro's built-in support for [GitHub-flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) support, [Footnotes](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-footnotes) syntax, [Smartypants](https://github.com/silvenon/remark-smartypants). You must explicitly add these plugins to your `astro.config.mjs` file, if desired.
