remark-textr
remark plugin to improve typography with Textr.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a unified (remark) plugin to support Textr.
When should I use this?
This project is useful if you want to automatically improve the text in your markdown documents. Textr is a simple way to do that: no need to worry about ASTs. On the other hand, ASTs are powerful, so some things are better done with custom plugins: see Create a plugin.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install remark-textr
In Deno with esm.sh:
import remarkTextr from 'https://esm.sh/remark-textr@6'
In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import remarkTextr from 'https://esm.sh/remark-textr@6?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say we have the following file example.md:
## spread operator...
```js
function(...args) { return args; }
```
…and a module example.js:
/**
* @typedef {import('remark-textr').TextrPlugin} TextrPlugin
*/
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkTextr from 'remark-textr'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
const file = await remark()
.use(remarkTextr, {plugins: [ellipses]})
.process(await read('example.md'))
console.log(String(file))
/**
* Replace triple dots with ellipses.
*
* @type {TextrPlugin}
*/
function ellipses(input) {
return input.replace(/\.{3}/gim, '…')
}
…then running node example.js yields:
## spread operator…
```js
function(...args) { return args; }
```

Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types Options and TextrPlugin.
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-textr@^6, compatible with Node.js 16.
This plugin works with unified version 6+ and remark version 7+.
Security
Use of remark-textr does not involve rehype (hast) or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Textr operates on text nodes, which are always escaped by remark.
