## Notes

Docusaurus builds documentation sites and blogs from Markdown and MDX files, where MDX lets React components sit inside the text. Meta Platforms, Inc. publishes it, and the repository lives in the facebook GitHub organization. A build writes static files to a build directory, so the output needs only static file hosting. The [deployment guide](https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment) describes static rendering only, with no server-side rendering, and says a site can generally work without JavaScript. Internationalization is built in, and the blog and docs features come from official plugins.
