remark-slug
remark plugin to add anchors headings using GitHub’s algorithm.
⚠️ Note: This is often useful when compiling to HTML. If you’re doing that, it’s probably smarter to useremark-rehype
andrehype-slug
and benefit from the rehype ecosystem.
Note!
This plugin is ready for the new parser in remark (remarkjs/remark#536
). No change is needed: it works exactly the same now as it did previously!
Install
npm:
npm install remark-slug
Use
Say we have the following file, example.md
:
# Lorem ipsum 😪
## dolor—sit—amet
### consectetur & adipisicing
#### elit
##### elit
And our script, example.js
, looks as follows:
var fs = require('fs')
var unified = require('unified')
var markdown = require('remark-parse')
var slug = require('remark-slug')
var remark2rehype = require('remark-rehype')
var html = require('rehype-stringify')
unified()
.use(markdown)
.use(slug)
.use(remark2rehype)
.use(html)
.process(fs.readFileSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(String(file))
})
Now, running node example
yields:
<h1 id="lorem-ipsum-">Lorem ipsum 😪</h1>
<h2 id="dolorsitamet">dolor—sit—amet</h2>
<h3 id="consectetur--adipisicing">consectetur & adipisicing</h3>
<h4 id="elit">elit</h4>
<h5 id="elit-1">elit</h5>
API
remark().use(slug)
Add anchors headings using GitHub’s algorithm.
Uses github-slugger
to creates GitHub-style slugs.
Sets data.id
and data.hProperties.id
on headings. The first can be used by any plugin as a unique identifier, the second tells mdast-util-to-hast
(used in remark-html
and remark-rehype
) to use its value as an id
attribute.
Security
Use of remark-slug
can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack as it sets id
attributes on headings. In a browser, elements are retrievable by id
with JavaScript and CSS. If a user injects a heading that slugs to an id you are already using, the user content may impersonate the website.
Always be wary with user input and use rehype-sanitize
.
