What is markdown-escapes?

The markdown-escapes package is designed to help with escaping and unescaping characters in Markdown text. It provides a straightforward API for handling characters that have special meanings in Markdown syntax, making it easier to work with Markdown programmatically. This can be particularly useful when generating Markdown content dynamically or when processing and sanitizing user-generated Markdown content.

What are markdown-escapes's main functionalities?

Escaping Markdown characters

This feature allows you to escape special Markdown characters in a string, preventing them from being interpreted as Markdown syntax. This is useful when you want to display these characters as plain text in a Markdown document.

const markdownEscapes = require('markdown-escapes');
const text = 'Markdown *text* with special characters';
const escapedText = markdownEscapes.escape(text);
console.log(escapedText);

Unescaping Markdown characters

This feature enables you to unescape previously escaped Markdown characters in a string, allowing them to be interpreted as Markdown syntax again. This can be useful when processing or transforming Markdown content that has been escaped for storage or transmission.

const markdownEscapes = require('markdown-escapes');
const escapedText = 'Markdown \*text\* with special characters';
const unescapedText = markdownEscapes.unescape(escapedText);
console.log(unescapedText);
