+### `processor`
+
+<p>
+
+**Type:** `MarkdownProcessor`<br />
+**Default:** inherited from [`markdown.processor`](/en/reference/configuration-reference/#markdownprocessor)<br />
+<Since v="6.0.0" pkg="@astrojs/mdx" />
+</p>
+
+By default, `.mdx` files render through the same [Markdown processor](/en/guides/markdown-content/#choosing-a-markdown-processor) as your `.md` files. Set `processor` to use a different processor, or the same processor with different options, for `.mdx` files only.
+
+For example, to keep the default remark/rehype processor for `.md` files while rendering `.mdx` files with [Sätteri](https://satteri.bruits.org/) using `@astrojs/markdown-satteri`:
+
+```js title="astro.config.mjs"
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+import { satteri } from '@astrojs/markdown-satteri';
+import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  integrations: [
+    mdx({ processor: satteri() }),
