There are only a few lines of docs about the transpilePackages option. What precisely it does? It doesn't seem to add more input to Webpack on Next13. What if I need to process my files?

You can check this npm packages and transpilePackages is replacing that library

Maybe I can try this module instead of the built-in option

Know what? After reading their page I still don't have an idea how it works and what it actually does
Yeah, there is an example:
<main>
      {/* will output <button class="Button_error__xxxxx"> */}
      <Button>Styled button</Button>
    </main>

But it's not clear who does it? The module? Webpack? Babel?
