mdast utility to parse comment markers.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a utility that tries to parse a structured marker from a comment.
When should I use this?
Comments are a hidden part of markdown, so they can be used as processing
instructions.
For example, this utility is used in remark-lint to control
whether lint rules are turned on or ignored, and by mdast-zone
to replace sections between two markers.
Install

npm install mdast-comment-markerIn Deno with esm.sh:

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, mdast-comment-marker@^3,
compatible with Node.js 16.
Security
Use of mdast-comment-marker does not involve hast, user content, or change
the tree, so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks.
