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.

Fields

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types Handler and Options.

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.
