+## Markdown Content
+
+You can add additional content to your site's homepage just by adding Markdown below the `---` frontmatter divider.
+
+````md
+---
+layout: home
+
+hero:
+  name: VitePress
+  text: Vite & Vue powered static site generator.
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+You can get started using VitePress right away using `npx`!
+
+```sh
+npm init
+npx vitepress init
+```
+````
+
+::: info
+VitePress didn't always auto-style the extra content of the `layout: home` page. To revert to older behavior, you can add `markdownStyles: false` to the frontmatter.
