remark-remove-links

remark plugin to remove all links, references, and definitions. Similar to remark-unlink but allows images.

Original motivation was to process Markdown documents in a way that would make it easier to read as a plain text. On an ebook reader or a piece of paper the links are useless and look ugly.

Install

npm:

npm install remark-remove-links

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md. Imagine section titles and URLs a bit longer though.

## TOC
 
- [section 1](#section-1)
- [section 2](#section-2)
 
## section 1
 
Section [content][1] may include some [links](https://domain.name/path).
 
[1]: https://domain.name/path
 
## section 2
 
![some images are here also](https://gif.com/1.gif)
 
More content.

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

var vfile = require('to-vfile')
var remark = require('remark')
var removeLinks = require('remark-remove-links')
 
remark()
  .use(removeLinks)
  .process(vfile.readSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

## TOC
 
- section 1
- section 2
 
## section 1
 
Section content may include some links.
 
## section 2
 
![some images are here also](https://gif.com/1.gif)
 
More content.
