help VuePress FAQ

Why does VuePress use Vue components inside Markdown files?

VuePress compiles Markdown into Vue-powered pages, so documentation authors can embed interactive Vue components directly in their content. This is especially useful when documenting a Vue.js component library with live examples.

Should a new documentation site use VuePress 1 or VuePress 2?

VuePress 2 is the modern line and is built around Vue 3, while VuePress 1 belongs to the Vue 2 generation. Existing version 1 sites may require theme, plugin, and configuration changes before they can move to version 2.

How is VuePress different from VitePress?

Both generate Vue-based documentation sites from Markdown, but VitePress uses Vite and follows a leaner, more opinionated architecture. VuePress offers a broader plugin and theme system, while VitePress is the documentation generator used by the official Vue.js site.

Can VuePress publish documentation through GitHub Pages?

Yes. VuePress produces static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that can be deployed to GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or a conventional web server.
