Bionic Markdown

bionic-markdown enabels the manipulation of Markdown files for bionic reading. More specifically, it will parse Markdown into an AST and extract paragraph text nodes. Those text values get changed into bionic text by using text-vide.

Installation

You can add this package to your project using npm or yarn:

npm install bionic-markdown

yarn add bionic-markdown

Usage

import bionicifyMarkdown from "bionic-markdown";

const md = "This is some markdown";

console.log(bionicifyMarkdown(md));
// log: '**Thi**s **i**s **som**e **markdo**wn\n'

Caveats

The functionality of this package is tailored towards its authors needs. As such, any MAST nodes with text values containing any of the elements below will not be converted:

const invalid_element_indicators = {
  table_1: "| -",
  table_2: "|-",
  math: "$",
  footnote: "[^",
};

The two table options account for the differences of formatting tools.

Frontmatter fields are ignored by default.

Contributing

This package is not actively maintained. You are welcome to contribute but active development of this package cannot be guaranteed.

Good first pull requests:

• Add an option to use the real API endpoint (will require parsing a HAST, convert it to MDAST and serialise it)
• Migrate to TypeScript
