utility to get the text content of a node.\n\n## Contents\n\n* [What is this?](#what-is-this)\n* [When should I use this?](#when-should-i-use-this)\n* [Install](#install)\n* [Use](#use)\n* [API](#api)\n  * [`toString(value[, options])`](#tostringvalue-options)\n  * [`Options`](#options)\n* [Types](#types)\n* [Compatibility](#compatibility)\n* [Security](#security)\n* [Related](#related)\n* [Contribute](#contribute)\n* [License](#license)\n\n## What is this?\n\nThis package is a tiny utility that gets the textual content of a node.\n\n## When should I use this?\n\nThis utility is useful when you have a node, say a heading, and want to get the\ntext inside it.\n\nThis package does not serialize markdown, that’s what\n[`mdast-util-to-markdown`][mdast-util-to-markdown] does.\n\nSimilar packages, [`hast-util-to-string`][hast-util-to-string] and\n[`hast-util-to-text`][hast-util-to-text], do the same but on [hast][].\n\n## Install\n\nThis package is [ESM only][esm].\nIn Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:\n\n```sh\nnpm install mdast-util-to-string\n```\n\nIn Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```js\nimport {toString} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-to-string@4'\n```\n\nIn browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```html\n\u003cscript type=\"module\"\u003e\n  import {toString} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-to-string@4?bundle'\n\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n\n## Use\n\n```js\nimport {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'\nimport {toString} from 'mdast-util-to-string'\n\nconst tree = fromMarkdown('Some _emphasis_, **importance**, and `code`.')\n\nconsole.log(toString(tree)) // =\u003e 'Some emphasis, importance, and code.'\n```\n\n## API\n\nThis package exports the identifier [`toString`][api-to-string].\nThere is no default export.\n\n### `toString(value[, options])`\n\nGet the text content of a node or list of nodes.\n\nPrefers the node’s plain-text fields, otherwise serializes its children,\nand if the given value is an array, serialize the nodes in it.\n\n###### Parameters\n\n* `value` (`unknown`)\n  — thing to serialize, typically [`Node`][node]\n* `options` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)\n  — configuration\n\n###### Returns\n\nSerialized `value` (`string`).\n\n### `Options`\n\nConfiguration (TypeScript type).\n\n###### Fields\n\n* `includeImageAlt` (`boolean`, default: `true`)\n  — whether to use `alt` for `image`s\n* `includeHtml` (`boolean`, default: `true`)\n  — whether to use `value` of HTML\n\n## Types\n\nThis package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].\nIt exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].\n\n## Compatibility\n\nProjects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained\nversions of Node.js.\n\nWhen we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of\nNode.\nThis means we try to keep the current release line, `mdast-util-to-string@^4`,\ncompatible with Node.js 16.\n\n## Security\n\nUse of `mdast-util-to-string` does not involve **[hast][]**, user content, or\nchange the tree, so there are no openings for [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss]\nattacks.\n\n## Related\n\n* [`hast-util-to-string`](https://github.com/wooorm/rehype-minify/tree/main/packages/hast-util-to-string)\n  — get text content in hast\n* [`hast-util-to-text`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-text)\n  — get text content in hast according to the `innerText` algorithm\n\n## Contribute\n\nSee [`contributing.md`][contributing]
