What is this?

This package is a unified (remark) plugin to configure remark (specifically, how remark-stringify formats markdown) from comments.

When should I use this?

This project is useful when you want to change how markdown is formatted, repeatedly, from within a file. You can use this when you trust authors and want to give them control.

This plugin is very similar to the alternative remark-yaml-config. The difference is that that plugin uses YAML frontmatter, which comes at the start of documents, whereas this plugin uses comments, which can come anywhere in the document.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install remark-comment-config

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkCommentConfig from 'https://esm.sh/remark-comment-config@8'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkCommentConfig from 'https://esm.sh/remark-comment-config@8?bundle'
</script>

Use

Say we have the following file example.md:

# Moons of Neptune

<!--remark bullet="+"-->

- Naiad

<!--remark bullet="-"-->

- Thalassa

<!--remark bullet="*"-->

- Despina

…and a module example.js:

import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkCommentConfig from 'remark-comment-config'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'

const file = await remark()
  .use(remarkCommentConfig)
  .process(await read('example.md'))

console.log(String(file))

…then running node example.js yields:

# Moons of Neptune

<!--remark bullet="+"-->

+ Naiad

<!--remark bullet="-"-->

- Thalassa

<!--remark bullet="*"-->

* Despina

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is remarkCommentConfig.

unified().use(remarkCommentConfig)

Configure remark with comments.

Comments should start with remark and contain “attributes” for settings. For example, <!--remark foo="bar" baz-->. The settings are passed to remark-stringify.

Parameters

There are no parameters.

Returns

Nothing (undefined).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-comment-config@^8, compatible with Node.js 16.

This plugin works with remark version 13+. Version 5 (and lower) worked with older versions of remark.

Security

Use of remark-comment-config can change how markdown is compiled. If the markdown is user provided, this may open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
