accept-md-runtime

Runtime for accept-md: HTML-to-Markdown conversion and the handler that serves markdown for Next.js or SvelteKit pages when clients send Accept: text/markdown. Use this in your Next.js API route / Route Handler or SvelteKit +server route.

Installation

pnpm add accept-md-runtime
# or npm install accept-md-runtime

Peer dependency: Next.js 12 or later (optional; only needed for Next.js projects).

Quick setup

1. Add rewrites or middleware (Next.js) or a hooks.server handle (SvelteKit) that rewrites Accept: text/markdown requests to your handler (e.g. /api/accept-md?path=...).
2. In that API route / Route Handler, call getMarkdownForPath with the request and path.

Or use the CLI: npx accept-md init to generate middleware and handler for you.

API

getMarkdownForPath(req, path, options?)

Fetches the given path as HTML from your app, converts it to markdown, and returns it. Use this in your App Router Route Handler or Pages API route.

import { getMarkdownForPath } from 'accept-md-runtime';

// App Router: app/api/accept-md/route.js (or route.ts)
export async function GET(req: Request) {
  const path = new URL(req.url).searchParams.get('path') ?? '/';
  const markdown = await getMarkdownForPath(req, path);
  return new Response(markdown, {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/markdown; charset=utf-8' },
  });
}

htmlToMarkdown(html, options?)

Converts an HTML string to markdown (uses Turndown; optional selectors to strip).

loadConfig(projectRoot)

Loads accept-md.config.js and returns a NextMarkdownConfig object.
