Introduction

Beautiful typography components and utilities to style your content with Pohon UI.

Pohon UI brings beautiful, consistent styling to the Prose components provided by @nuxtjs/mdc. The Nuxt MDC module transforms your markdown into semantic Vue components, and Pohon UI applies its design system so your content automatically adapts to your application's theme.

For Nuxt Content installation and setup, check the Content integration guide.

Usage

The typography system powered by Nuxt MDC's prose components and styled by Pohon UI, provides multiple ways to render styled content:

  1. Markdown Rendering - Use ContentRenderer or MDC component to render markdown with automatic prose styling
  2. Direct Vue Usage - Import and use prose components directly in your Vue templates

With ContentRenderer

The simplest way - your markdown is automatically styled when using <ContentRenderer> component:

pages/[...slug].vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const route = useRoute();

const { data: page } = await useAsyncData(route.path, () => queryCollection('docs').path(route.path).first());
</script>

<template>
  <ContentRenderer :value="page" />
</template>
When you write markdown, Nuxt MDC automatically maps each element to a styled prose component:
  • # Heading → <ProseH1> (with accessible anchor links)
  • **bold** → <ProseStrong> (styled according to your theme)
  • `code` → <ProseCode> (with syntax highlighting)
  • ...and all other markdown syntax is rendered as their corresponding prose components, ensuring consistent design and theming.

With MDC component

For more control over markdown rendering, use the <MDC> component:

<script setup lang="ts">
const value = `# Hello World

Learn more about the **MDC** component in the [documentation](https://github.com/nuxt-modules/mdc).
`;
</script>

<template>
  <MDC :value="value" />
</template>
Use this approach when you need to:
  • Render markdown content from external sources such as APIs or databases
  • Inject dynamic or custom data into your markdown
  • Build flexible, dynamic content systems
  • Safely process and display user-generated markdown

With Prose components

Use prose components directly in Vue templates for maximum control:

<template>
  <ProseTable>
    <ProseThead>
      <ProseTr>
        <ProseTh>Prop</ProseTh>
        <ProseTh>Default</ProseTh>
      </ProseTr>
    </ProseThead>
    <ProseTbody>
      <ProseTr>
        <ProseTd>
          <ProseCode>color</ProseCode>
        </ProseTd>
        <ProseTd>
          <ProseCode>neutral</ProseCode>
        </ProseTd>
      </ProseTr>
    </ProseTbody>
  </ProseTable>
</template>

        }
      },
