Closes #4776 This is a somewhat low-tech fix for this problem. That's because it's not entirely trivial to resolve this as the MDX components rely on the React context to figure out the title of the page, but the remark plugin runs in an SSR context and does not have access to the React contenxt. Futhermore, while we could load the context statically for dev (given the navigation context for the docs is availabel in the prebuild data) this would lead to problems for org because we don't know inside this remark plugin what language the user requested. And while I'm certain we could figure it out given enough effort, it hardly seems worth is since this is used in very few places. In addition, it would do nothing to solve the matter of the nested a tags when putting a link in the title, which clashes with the auto-generated amchor links for titles. So new rules: - Title cannot be a link - You can not use `DocsTitle` as title

## Pattern design best practices

|
|
In design as in code, there's often many different ways to accomplish the same

|
result. We have a list of best practices that we recommend you follow. Even if

## Design guide

We've so far been talking about *patterns* but what you're really be creating is a *design*.
