## Why aren't my code blocks highlighted with Storybook MDX
## Why aren't my code blocks highlighted with Storybook MDX?

Out of the box, Storybook provides syntax highlighting for a set of languages (e.g., Javascript, Markdown, CSS, HTML, Typescript, GraphQL) you can use with your code blocks. Currently, there's a known limitation when you try and register a custom language to get syntax highlighting. We're working on a fix for this And will update this section once it's available.

### Markdown tables aren't rendering correctly

As of MDX 2, GFM is no longer included by default:

“We turned off GFM features in MDX by default. GFM extends CommonMark to add autolink literals, footnotes, strikethrough, tables, and task lists. If you do want these features, you can use a plugin. How to do so is described in [our guide on GFM](https://mdxjs.com/guides/gfm/).”

In Storybook, you can apply MDX options, including plugins, in the main configuration file:
If you're extending your documentation to include specific features (e.g., tables, footnotes), you may run into some issues rendering them correctly using the current MDX version supported by Storybook. We recommend enabling the [`remark-gfm`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-gfm) plugin in your configuration file (i.e., [`.storybook/main.js|ts`](../configure/index.md)) to render them correctly.

#### Storybook doesn't create documentation for my component stories

If you run into a situation where Storybook is not able to detect and render the documentation for your component stories, it may be due to a misconfiguration in your Storybook. Check your configuration file (i.e., `.storybook/main.js|ts`) and ensure the `stories` configuration element provides the correct path to your stories location(e.g., `../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|mjs|ts|tsx)`).

### The migration seems flaky and keeps failing

By default, running the [migration command](#automigration) will try and migrate all existing MDX files in your project according to the MDX 2 specification. However, this might not always be possible, and you might run into issues during the migration. To help you troubleshoot those issues, we've prepared some recommendations that might help you.
By default, running the [migration](../configure/upgrading.md) command will prompt you to update the existing MDX files in your project according to the MDX version supported by Storybook. However, this might be a disruptive process, specifically if you're upgrading from a previous version of Storybook where you were using the legacy MDX format. To help you troubleshoot those issues, we've prepared some recommendations that might help you.
