Retype extends standard Markdown with a rich set of built-in components called Retype Flavored Markdown (RFM). These components let you create callouts, code groups, diagrams, media embeds, and interactive elements without writing any HTML. All RFM components use a consistent syntax based on familiar Markdown patterns — fenced blocks, link-style notation, and attribute lists — so they integrate naturally into your writing flow.Documentation Index
