remark-breaks

remark plugin to add break support, without needing spaces.

Install

npm:

npm install remark-breaks

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md (note: there are no spaces after a):

This is a
paragraph.

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var vfile = require('to-vfile')
var report = require('vfile-reporter')
var unified = require('unified')
var markdown = require('remark-parse')
var remark2rehype = require('remark-rehype')
var html = require('rehype-stringify')
var breaks = require('remark-breaks')
 
unified()
  .use(markdown)
  .use(breaks)
  .use(remark2rehype)
  .use(html)
  .process(vfile.readSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

<p>This is a<br>
paragraph.</p>

Without remark-breaks, you’d get:

<p>This is a
paragraph.</p>

API
