Escape hatch for not wrapping line in paragraph?

[vincerubinetti]

I have some MDX like this:

<a href="">
  Link
</a>

And this package is wrapping the inner contents with a <p> paragraph.

Now, I could do the original MDX all on one line, but Prettier, even with strict white space sensitivity, reverts it to the multi-line variant. I think this is because both are supposed to be equivalent in HTML/markdown.

For now, I've found a work-around of wrapping the inner contents in a <span>:

<a href="">
  <span>Link</span>
</a>

Do you have any better recommendations?

Jekyll/Kramdown has this escape hatch to disable markdown parsing for a particular section like this: {::nomarkdown}some content{:/}. Perhaps something like this could be added here?

I recently answered this on StackOverflow.

TL;DR use a JSX expression:

{
  <a href="">
    Link
  </a>
}

Also Prettier doesn’t support MDX 3. I recommend adding *.mdx to .prettierignore for now.

Thanks for the detailed answer! And that's good to know about MDX3. For now I'm still going to format my MDX with Prettier because I don't want to completely forgo formatting for my large MDX files. I'll keep an eye out for errors though and remember that it might be caused by this incompatibility.
