mdast-util-ofm

mdast extensions to parse and serialize Obsidian Flavored Markdown (OFM).

What is this?

This package contains two extensions to add support for OFM tag syntax to mdast. It supports callouts, tags as well as wikilinks and embeddings.

When to use this

This project is useful if you want to support OFM in your markdown.

You can use these extension when you are working with mdast-util-from-markdown and mdast-util-to-markdown already.

When working with mdast-util-from-markdown, you must combine this package with micromark-extension-ofm.

When you don't need a syntax tree, you can use micromark directly with micromark-extension-ofm.

Alternatively you can also use the underlying features separately:

• mdast-util-ofm-callout - support for OFM callouts
• mdast-util-ofm-tag - support for OFM tags
• mdast-util-ofm-wikilink - support for OFM wikilinks

All these packages are used in remark-ofm, which focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these internal away.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 18+), install with npm:

npm install @moritzrs/mdast-util-ofm

Use

import { fromMarkdown } from "mdast-util-from-markdown";
import { toMarkdown } from "mdast-util-to-markdown";
import { ofm } from "@moritzrs/micromark-extension-ofm";
import { ofmFromMarkdown, ofmToMarkdown } from "@moritzrs/mdast-util-ofm";

const tree = fromMarkdown("> [!info]+ Hey There\n> #tag\n> [[link]]", {
	extensions: [ofm()],
	mdastExtensions: [ofmFromMarkdown()],
});

console.log(tree);

const out = toMarkdown(tree, { extensions: [ofmToMarkdown()] });

console.log(out);

Yields

{
	type: "root",
	children: [
		{
			type: "ofmCallout",
			kind: "info",
			folded: false,
			title: "Hey There",
			children: [
				{
					type: "paragraph",
					children: [
						{
							type: "ofmTag",
							value: "tag",
						},
						{
							type: "text",
							value: "\n",
						},
						{
							type: "ofmWikilink",
