retext-dom

Create a DOM tree from a retext document.

Note: retext-dom only works in the browser (d’oh), or with a Node.js DOM such as jsdom.

Installation

npm:

npm install retext-dom

retext-dom is also available for bower, component, and duo, and as an AMD, CommonJS, and globals module, uncompressed and compressed.

Usage

var retext = require('retext');
var dom = require('retext-dom');
var processor = retext().use(dom);

processor.process('A simple English sentence.', function (err, file, $node) {
    console.log($node.outerHTML);
});

Yields (Note: White-space between nodes added for readability, this is not actually inserted!):

<div>
  <p>
    <span>
      <span>A</span>
      <span> </span>
      <span>simple</span>
      <span> </span>
      <span>English</span>
      <span> </span>
      <span>sentence</span>
      <span>.</span>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>

API

retext.use(dom[, options])

Instead of compiling to text, generate a DOM-node.

Parameters:

• dom — This module;

• options (Object, optional):

  • tags (Object, optional) — Object of nlcst types mapping to HTML tags. The initial values look as follows:

    {
        'WhiteSpaceNode': 'span',
        'PunctuationNode': 'span',
        'SymbolNode': 'span',
        'ParagraphNode': 'p',
        'RootNode': 'div'
    }

    When omitted, the default is a #text for nodes with a value, and a span for all others.

Integrations

All nlcst nodes can be re-created as DOM-nodes. In addition, retext-dom looks for an attributes object on each node it compiles and adds the found properties as HTML attributes on the generated DOM node.
