What is this?

This package is a unified (remark) plugin to remove all links and images.

unified is a project that transforms content with abstract syntax trees (ASTs). remark adds support for markdown to unified. mdast is the markdown AST that remark uses. This is a remark plugin that transforms mdast.

When should I use this?

This project is useful if you display markdown documents somewhere where links and images don’t work, such as man pages, on paper, or some ereaders.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install remark-unlink

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkUnlink from 'https://esm.sh/remark-unlink@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkUnlink from 'https://esm.sh/remark-unlink@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

Say we have the following file example.md.

## TOC

- [section 1](#section-1)
- [section 2](#section-2)

## section 1

Section [content][1] may include some [links](https://domain.name/path).

[1]: https://domain.name/path

## section 2

![some images are here also](https://gif.com/1.gif)

More content.

And our module example.js looks as follows:

import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkUnlink from 'remark-unlink'

main()

async function main() {
  const file = await remark()
    .use(remarkUnlink)
    .process(await read('example.md'))

  console.log(String(file))
}

Now, running node example yields:

## TOC

*   section 1
*   section 2

## section 1

Section content may include some links.

## section 2

More content.
