@mdwrk/markdown-editor-core

Headless markdown editing primitives

This package exposes the command, selection, transform, and history logic behind the MdWrk editing experience.

Why

Use it when you need markdown editing semantics without committing to a specific UI implementation.

What

• Built-in markdown editing commands.
• Selection and transform helpers.
• Undo and redo history state management.

Installation

Node.js 20.x through 22.x, matching the workspace engine contract in the root package manifest.

npm install @mdwrk/markdown-editor-core

Usage

import { applyBuiltinMarkdownCommand, createSelection } from "@mdwrk/markdown-editor-core";

const result = applyBuiltinMarkdownCommand(
  "bold",
  "hello",
  createSelection(0, 5),
);

Surface

• Editor commands include ordered-list, bullet-list, task-list, move-line-up, move-line-down, move-block-up, and move-block-down.
• Command descriptors are exported through listBuiltinMarkdownEditorCommands() with scope, category, and CM/GFM/CFM or mdwrk-operator applicability metadata.
• Explicit keyboard navigation is exported as pure selection helpers through computeNavigatedSelection().
