## What is this?



This package is a [unified][] ([remark][]) plugin to remove most nodes so as to

just leave text.



## When should I use this?



You can use this if you want to ignore the syntax of markdown.



## Install



This package is [ESM only][esm].

In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:



```sh

npm install strip-markdown

```



In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:



```js

import stripMarkdown from 'https://esm.sh/strip-markdown@6'

```



In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:



```html



  import stripMarkdown from 'https://esm.sh/strip-markdown@6?bundle'



```



## Use



```js

import {remark} from 'remark'

import strip from 'strip-markdown'



const file = await remark()

  .use(strip)

  .process('Some *emphasis*, **importance**, and `code`.')



console.log(String(file))

```



Yields:



```txt

Some emphasis, importance, and code.

```



## API



This package exports no identifiers.

The default export is [`stripMarkdown`][api-strip-markdown].



### `unified().use(stripMarkdown[, options])`



Remove markdown formatting.



* remove `code`, `html`, `horizontalRule`, `table`, `toml`, `yaml`, and

  their content

* render everything else as simple paragraphs without formatting

* uses `alt` text for images



###### Parameters



* `option` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)

  — configuration



###### Returns



Transform ([`Transformer`][unified-transformer]).



### `Handler`



Transform a node (TypeScript type).



###### Parameters



* `node` ([`Node`][mdast-node])

  — node



###### Returns



Result (`Array` or `Node`).



### `Options`



Configuration (TypeScript type).



###### Fields



* `keep` (`Array`, optional)

  — list of node types to leave unchanged

* `remove` (`Array<[string, Handler] | string>`, optional)

  — list of node types to remove (or replace, with handlers)



## Types



This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].

It exports the additional types [`Handler`][api-handler] and

[`Options`][api-options].



## Compatibility



Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained

versions of Node.js.



When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of

Node.

This means we try to keep the current release line, `strip-markdown@6`,

compatible with Node.js 16.



## Security



Use of `strip-markdown` does not involve **[rehype][]** (**[hast][]**) or user

content so there are no openings for [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attacks.



## Contribute



See [`contributing.md`][contributing] in [`remarkjs/.github`][health] for ways

to get started.

See [`support.md`][support] for ways to get help.
