remark-bookmarks

Link manager for Markdown files with remark.

Installation

npm:

npm install remark-bookmarks

Usage

This module allows you to manage a collection of links across Markdown files; it’s useful for use cases where you need to reference the same source several times across multiple sections of your documentation. Given the following markdown:

remark-bookmarks is on [npm]!

And we require dependencies:

const remark = require('remark')
const remarkBookmarks = require('remark-bookmarks')

We can call remark-bookmarks to provide the missing reference:

const output = remark()
  .use(remarkBookmarks, {
    bookmarks: {
      github: 'https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-bookmarks',
      npm: 'https://npmjs.com/package/remark-bookmarks'
    }
  })
  .processSync('remark-bookmarks is on [npm]!')
  .toString()

The output of this transform is below.

Note that only the npm link is inserted into this document, to avoid unnecessary references.

remark-bookmarks is on [npm]!

[npm]: https://npmjs.com/package/remark-bookmarks

API

remark.use(bookmarks[, options])

Manage links.

By default, this module will append all of the references to the bottom of the Markdown file, which might be problematic if you are using modules that change whole sections of Markdown. One such example is remark-license.

To resolve this, we recommend that you use remark-inline-links, which will transform the references into inline links.

options.bookmarks

The URLs to share across Markdown documents (Object.<string>). References are case insensitive.

options.overwrite

Pass overwrite: true to ensure that references are used consistently. By default (false), the existing references in the file will take precedence over anything defined globally.
