  plugins={plugins}
/>

Options

MarkdownPlugin also use many other plugins as dependencies, and allows you to pass their customized settings.

Additionally, blocks, marks, inlines default types are the same as Markup-it.

// Default settings
{
  blocks: BLOCKS, // https://github.com/GitbookIO/markup-it/blob/master/src/constants/blocks.js
  marks: MARKS, // https://github.com/GitbookIO/markup-it/blob/master/src/constants/marks.js
  inlines: INLINES, // https://github.com/GitbookIO/markup-it/blob/master/src/constants/inlines.js
  codeOption: {
    // https://github.com/GitbookIO/slate-edit-code
    onlyIn: node => node.type === BLOCKS.CODE
  },
  blockquoteOption: {
    // https://github.com/GitbookIO/slate-edit-blockquote

  },
  listOption: {
    // https://github.com/GitbookIO/slate-edit-list
  }
}

If you want to change a type, you could set that specific key type alone, without all types.

For example, you want to change BOLD default type to bold_type. Just pass object as below

{
  marks: {BOLD: 'bold_type'}
}

This will replace default BOLD setting to your new setting.
