MDX is useful when a note needs more structure than plain Markdown but still should behave like an article.

Why it helps

When a post needs a small interactive affordance or a consistent internal link treatment, MDX keeps the content and presentation close together.

Example pattern

---
title: 'Example'
---

<Callout>
  Keep the note short and the control path explicit.
</Callout>

Practical rule

Use MDX for articles that benefit from embedded structure. Use Markdown for everything else.

That keeps the publishing process simple and makes it easier to review content before it ships.
