Yes. YAML frontmatter at the top of your MDX file is preserved and can be included as meta tags in the HTML output or extracted separately.

Import statements are processed, but external dependencies won't be resolved. Built-in MDX features and common React patterns are supported. Complex imports may need manual handling in the output.

MDX code blocks become HTML pre and code elements with proper syntax highlighting classes. Language specifications in code fences are preserved as CSS classes.

The converter produces semantic HTML structure. Basic styling classes are included, but you'll need to add CSS for visual formatting. The output is designed to work with popular CSS frameworks.

Markdown tables become HTML table elements with proper thead/tbody structure. Lists are converted to semantic ul/ol elements. Custom table components are rendered to their HTML equivalents.
