remark-breaks

remark plugin to add break support, without needing spaces.

Note!

This plugin is ready for the new parser in remark (micromark, see remarkjs/remark#536). A patch version was released (2.0.1) that works with old and new remark.

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

remark().use(breaks)

Plugin to add break support without needing spaces. This adds support for GitHub style (in issues, pull requests, comments, and releases) hard breaks without needing spaces before newlines.

Security

Use of remark-breaks does not involve rehype (hast) or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
