mdast utility to normalize heading depths.

Contents

What is this?

This package is a utility that normalizes the heading structure of documents. It makes sure one top-level heading is used by adjusting headings depths accordingly.

When should I use this?

This utility can be useful when working with tools that assume that there is a single top-level heading that contains some meta-information (usually a title) about the document.

A plugin, remark-normalize-headings, exists that does the same but for remark.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install mdast-util-normalize-headings

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {normalizeHeadings} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-normalize-headings@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {normalizeHeadings} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-normalize-headings@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {normalizeHeadings} from 'mdast-normalize-headings'

const tree = u('root', [
  u('heading', {depth: 1}, [u('text', 'title')]),
  u('heading', {depth: 2}, [u('text', 'description')]),
  u('heading', {depth: 1}, [u('text', 'example')])
])

normalizeHeadings(tree)

console.log(tree)

Yields:

{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {type: 'heading', depth: 1, children: [Array]},
    {type: 'heading', depth: 3, children: [Array]},
    {type: 'heading', depth: 2, children: [Array]}
  ]
}
