 While developing locally, we recommend using extensions in your IDE to recognize and format MDX files.
 
-If you use Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code, we recommend the [MDX VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=unifiedjs.vscode-mdx) for syntax highlighting, and [Prettier](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode) for code formatting.

-If you use JetBrains, we recommend the [MDX IntelliJ IDEA plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14944-mdx) for syntax highlighting, and setting up [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/webstorm) for code formatting.
+Install the following extensions:
+
+- [MDX VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=unifiedjs.vscode-mdx) for syntax highlighting
+- [Prettier](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode) for code formatting
+
+To enable formatting on save, add the following to your `.vscode/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "[mdx]": {
+    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
+    "editor.formatOnSave": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### JetBrains IDEs
+
+Install the following plugins:
+
+- [MDX IntelliJ IDEA plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14944-mdx) for syntax highlighting
+- [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/webstorm) for code formatting
+
+To enable Prettier for MDX files, go to **Settings > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Prettier** and add `mdx` to the file extensions.
+
+### Prettier configuration
+
+Create a `.prettierrc` file in your documentation root to customize formatting:
+
+```json
+{
+  "semi": false,
+  "singleQuote": true,
+  "tabWidth": 2,
+  "proseWrap": "always"
+}
+```
+
+To format all MDX files in your project, run:
+
+```bash
+npx prettier --write "**/*.mdx"
+```
