remark-smartypants

remark plugin to implement SmartyPants. Now with 100% more ESM!

Installing

# using npm
npm install remark-smartypants

# using yarn
yarn add remark-smartypants

Usage

Example using remark:

import remark from "remark";
import smartypants from "remark-smartypants";

const result = await remark().use(smartypants).process("# <<Hello World!>>");

console.log(String(result));
// # «Hello World!»

I created this plugin because I wanted to add SmartyPants to MDX:

import mdx from "@mdx-js/mdx";
import smartypants from "remark-smartypants";

const result = await mdx("# ---Hello World!---", {
  remarkPlugins: [smartypants],
});

Note that angle quotes in the former example (<<...>>) are probably impossible in MDX because there they are invalid syntax.

This plugin uses retext-smartypants under the hood, so it takes the same options:

const result = await remark()
  .use(smartypants, { dashes: "oldschool" })
  .process("en dash (--), em dash (---)");
