remark-normalize-headings

remark plugin to make sure that there is only one top-level heading in a document by adjusting heading depths accordingly.

Providing multiple top-level headings per single Markdown document is confusing for tools that assume that there is only a single top-level heading that contains some meta-information (usually title) about the document.

Install

npm:

npm install remark-normalize-headings

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md:

# Title

# Description

## Usage

### Example

## API

# Related

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var vfile = require('to-vfile')
var remark = require('remark')
var normalizeHeadings = require('remark-normalize-headings')

remark()
  .use(normalizeHeadings)
  .process(vfile.readSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

# Title

## Description

### Usage

#### Example

### API

## Related

API

remark().use(normalizeHeadings)

Make sure that there is only one top-level heading in a document by adjusting heading depths accordingly.

Security

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