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
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-comment-marker
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {commentMarker} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-comment-marker@3'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {commentMarker} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-comment-marker@3?bundle'
</script>
Use
import {commentMarker} from 'mdast-comment-marker'
console.log(commentMarker({type: 'html', value: '<!--foo-->'}));
console.log(commentMarker({
type: 'html',
value: '<!--foo bar baz=12.4 qux="test test" quux=\'false\'-->'
}));
console.log(commentMarker({type: 'html', value: '<!doctype html>'}));
console.log(commentMarker({
type: 'mdxFlowExpression',
value: '/* lint disable heading-style */'
}));
Yields:
{
name: 'foo',
attributes: '',
parameters: {},
node: { type: 'html', value: '<!--foo-->' }
}
{
name: 'foo',
attributes: `bar baz=12.4 qux="test test" quux='false'`,
parameters: { bar: true, baz: 12.4, qux: 'test test', quux: false },
node: {
type: 'html',
value: `<!--foo bar baz=12.4 qux="test test" quux='false'-->`
}
}
undefined
{
name: 'lint',
attributes: 'disable heading-style',
parameters: { disable: true, 'heading-style': true },
node: {
type: 'mdxFlowExpression',
value: '/* lint disable heading-style */'
}
}

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.
