+## Markdown Specific Types
+
+If you know the content being fetched will be Markdown, then you can extend the `MarkdownParsedContent`{lang="ts"} type for improved
+type-safety.
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import type { MarkdownParsedContent } from '@nuxt/content/dist/runtime/types'
+
+interface Article extends MarkdownParsedContent {
+  author: string
+}
+const { data } = await useAsyncData(
+  'first-article',  
+  () => queryContent<Article>('articles').findOne()
+)
+// data.value.author will be typed as well as markdown specific entries
+</script>
+```
+
+
 ## The future
 
 TypeScript support is a strong focus for us.
