remark-supersub

Remark plugin for adding support for pandoc-style superscript and subscript syntax to Markdown.

Adds two new node types to MDAST: superscript and subscript. When using rehype, these will be stringified as sup and sub respectively.

Syntax

21^st^ Century

H~2~O

AST

The example above will yield:

{
  type: 'paragraph',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'text',
      value: '21'
    },
    {
      type: 'superscript',
      children: [{
        type: 'text',
        value: 'st'
      }]
    },
    {
      type: 'text',
      value: ' Century'
    }
  ]
}
...
{
  type: 'paragraph',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'text',
      value: 'H'
    },
    {
      type: 'subscript',
      children: [{
        type: 'text',
        value: '2'
      }]
    },
    {
      type: 'text',
      value: 'O'
    }
  ]
}
