mdast-util-split-by-heading splits a markdown AST into several markdown ASTs based on their headings.
It is useful when you want to split a document with many headings into several documents, for instance one by chapter.
npm:
npm install mdast-util-split-by-headingconst unified = require('unified')
const parse = require('remark-parse')
const split = require('mdast-util-split-by-heading')
var tree = unified()
.use(parse)
.parse('# part\n\n## chapter \n\n Hello world \n\n # part *2*')
console.log(split(tree))Splits a MDAST tree into separate trees by heading depth.
An integer greater or equal to 1 determining the heading depth you want to match when splitting.
