<Note>
Browsers evaluate MDX expressions, such as imported variables like `{myName}` and inline expressions like `{1 + 1}`. Their values do not appear in a page's initial HTML or in [offline exports](/deploy/export), so crawlers, LLMs, and other tools that do not run JavaScript see the surrounding text without them. Write values as plain text if they must be visible in those situations.
