## What is this?
|
||
|
||
This package is a [unified][] ([remark][]) plugin that defines how to take
|
||
markdown as input and turn it into a syntax tree.
|
||
|
||
This plugin is built on [`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown],
|
||
which in turn uses [`micromark`][micromark] for parsing markdown into tokens and
|
||
turns those into [mdast][] syntax trees.
|
||
remark focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting such
|
||
internals away.
|
||
|
||
**unified** is a project that transforms content with abstract syntax trees
|
||
(ASTs).
|
||
**remark** adds support for markdown to unified.
|
||
**mdast** is the markdown AST that remark uses.
|
||
**micromark** is the markdown parser we use.
|
||
This is a remark plugin that defines how input markdown is turned into mdast.
|
||
|
||
## When should I use this?
|
||
|
||
This plugin adds support to unified for parsing markdown.
|
||
You can alternatively use [`remark`][remark-core] instead, which combines
|
||
unified, this plugin, and [`remark-stringify`][remark-stringify].
|
||
|
||
You can combine this plugin with other plugins to add syntax extensions.
|
||
Notable examples that deeply integrate with it are
|
||
[`remark-gfm`][remark-gfm],
|
||
[`remark-mdx`][remark-mdx],
|
||
[`remark-frontmatter`][remark-frontmatter],
|
||
[`remark-math`][remark-math], and
|
||
[`remark-directive`][remark-directive].
|
||
You can also use any other [remark plugin][plugin] after `remark-parse`.
|
||
|
||
If you *just* want to turn markdown into HTML (with maybe a few extensions),
|
||
we recommend [`micromark`][micromark] instead.
|
||
If you want to handle syntax trees manually, you can use
|
||
[`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown].
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
This package is [ESM only](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c).
|
||
In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with [npm][]:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm install remark-parse
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import remarkParse from 'https://esm.sh/remark-parse@10'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<script type="module">
|
||
import remarkParse from 'https://esm.sh/remark-parse@10?bundle'
|
||
</script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Use
|
||
|
||
Say we have the following module `example.js`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import {unified} from 'unified'
|
||
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
|
||
import remarkGfm from 'remark-gfm'
|
||
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
|
||
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
|
||
|
||
main()
|
||
|
||
async function main() {
|
||
const file = await unified()
|
||
.use(remarkParse)
|
||
.use(remarkGfm)
|
||
.use(remarkRehype)
|
||
.use(rehypeStringify)
|
||
.process('# Hi\n\n*Hello*, world!')
|
||
|
||
console.log(String(file))
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Running that with `node example.js` yields:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<h1>Hi</h1>
|
||
<p><em>Hello</em>, world!</p>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## API
|
||
|
||
This package exports no identifiers.
|
||
The default export is `remarkParse`.
|
||
|
||
### `unified().use(remarkParse)`
|
||
|
||
Add support for parsing markdown input.
|
||
There are no options.
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
### Example: support GFM and frontmatter
|
||
|
||
We support CommonMark by default.
|
||
Non-standard markdown extensions can be enabled with plugins.
|
||
The following example adds support for GFM features (autolink literals,
|
||
footnotes, strikethrough, tables, tasklists) and frontmatter (YAML):
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import {unified} from 'unified'
|
||
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
|
||
import remarkFrontmatter from 'remark-frontmatter'
|
||
import remarkGfm from 'remark-gfm'
|
||
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
|
||
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
|
||
|
||
main()
|
||
|
||
async function main() {
|
||
const file = await unified()
|
||
.use(remarkParse)
|
||
.use(remarkFrontmatter)
|
||
.use(remarkGfm)
|
||
.use(remarkRehype)
|
||
.use(rehypeStringify)
|
||
.process('---\nlayout: home\n---\n\n# Hi ~~Mars~~Venus!')
|
||
|
||
console.log(String(file))
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Yields:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<h1>Hi <del>Mars</del>Venus!</h1>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Example: turning markdown into a man page
|
||
|
||
Man pages (short for manual pages) are a way to document CLIs (example: type
|
||
`man git-log` in your terminal).
|
||
They use an old markup format called roff.
|
||
There’s a remark plugin, [`remark-man`][remark-man], that can serialize as roff.
|
||
The following example turns markdown into man pages by using unified with
|
||
`remark-parse` and `remark-man`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import {unified} from 'unified'
|
||
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
|
||
import remarkMan from 'remark-man'
|
||
|
||
main()
|
||
|
||
async function main() {
|
||
const file = await unified()
|
||
.use(remarkParse)
|
||
.use(remarkMan)
|
||
.process('# titan(7) -- largest moon of saturn\n\nTitan is the largest moon…')
|
||
|
||
console.log(String(file))
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Yields:
|
||
|
||
```roff
|
||
.TH "TITAN" "7" "November 2021" "" ""
|
||
.SH "NAME"
|
||
\fBtitan\fR - largest moon of saturn
|
||
.P
|
||
Titan is the largest moon…
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Syntax
|
||
|
||
Markdown is parsed according to CommonMark.
|
||
Other plugins can add support for syntax extensions.
|
||
If you’re interested in extending markdown,
|
||
[more information is available in micromark’s readme][micromark-extend].
|
||
|
||
## Syntax tree
|
||
|
||
The syntax tree format used in remark is [mdast][].
|
||
|
||
## Types
|
||
|
||
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
|
||
There are no extra exported types.
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility
|
||
|
||
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained
|
||
versions of Node.js.
|
||
As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, and 16.0+.
|
||
Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
|
||
|
||
## Security
|
||
|
||
As markdown can be turned into HTML and improper use of HTML can open you up to
|
||
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attacks, use of remark can be unsafe.
|
||
When going to HTML, you will likely combine remark with **[rehype][]**, in which
|
||
case you should use [`rehype-sanitize`][rehype-sanitize].
|
||
|
||
Use of remark plugins could also open you up to other attacks.
|
||
Carefully assess each plugin and the risks involved in using them.
