# Markdown Support
ABlog can support markdown pages using [myst-parser](https://pypi.org/project/myst-parser/).
This page is a markdown file underneath.
You will need to do a few things to get setup.
1. Install [myst-parser](https://pypi.org/project/myst-parser/)
2. Add these options to your config, `conf.py`
```python
extensions = [
...
"myst_parser",
...
]
myst_update_mathjax = False
```
Then use the new blogpost metadata format (with a slight twist):
```

```
Notice here we do not have a ":" at the start since the markdown metadata format is different from rst.
Please be aware that adding "myst-parser" will mean it will read all markdown files and try to parse them.
You will need to use the following in your `conf.py` to prevent this:
```python
exclude_patterns = [
"posts/*/.ipynb_checkpoints/*",
".github/*",
".history",
"github_submodule/*",
"LICENSE.md",
"README.md",
]
```
