remark plugin to remove markdown formatting. This essentially removes everything but paragraphs and text.

This is one of the first remark plugins, before prefixing with remark- got cool.

Contents

What is this?

This package is a unified (remark) plugin to remove most nodes so as to just leave text.

When should I use this?

You can use this if you want to ignore the syntax of markdown.

Install

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

npm install strip-markdown

In Deno with esm.sh:

import stripMarkdown from 'https://esm.sh/strip-markdown@6'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import stripMarkdown from 'https://esm.sh/strip-markdown@6?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {remark} from 'remark'
import strip from 'strip-markdown'

const file = await remark()
  .use(strip)
  .process('Some *emphasis*, **importance**, and `code`.')

console.log(String(file))

Yields:

Some emphasis, importance, and code.

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, strip-markdown@6, compatible with Node.js 16.

Security

Use of strip-markdown does not involve rehype (hast) or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
