remark-inline-links
remark plugin to turn references and definitions into normal links and images.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a unified (remark) plugin to turn references
([text][id]
, ![alt][id]
) and definitions ([id]: url
) into links
([text](url)
) and images (![alt](url)
).
When should I use this?
This project is useful when you want to transform markdown and prefer that it uses links and images. “Normal” links and images are well known whereas references and definitions are somewhat uncommon. Long URLs in source code can make reading markdown difficult though.
Two different plugins, remark-defsplit
and
remark-reference-links
, do the inverse: turn
links and images into references and definitions.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install remark-inline-links
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import remarkInlineLinks from 'https://esm.sh/remark-inline-links@7'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import remarkInlineLinks from 'https://esm.sh/remark-inline-links@7?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say we have the following file example.md
:
[foo], [foo][], [bar][foo].
![foo], ![foo][], ![bar][foo].
[foo]: http://example.com "Example Domain"
…and a module example.js
:
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkInlineLinks from 'remark-inline-links'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
const file = await remark()
.use(remarkInlineLinks)
.process(await read('example.md'))
console.log(String(file))
…then running node example.js
yields:
[foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), [foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), [bar](http://example.com "Example Domain").
![foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), ![foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), ![bar](http://example.com "Example Domain").
API

The default export is remarkInlineLinks
.
unified().use(remarkInlineLinks)

Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
Parameters
There are no parameters.

Transform (Transformer
).
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, remark-inline-links@^7
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
This plugin works with unified
version 3+ and remark
version 4+.
Security
Use of remark-inline-links
does not involve rehype (hast) or
user content so there are no openings for
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
