Usage examples

Node.js

const MarkdownIt = require('markdown-it');
const plainText = require('markdown-it-plain-text');

const md = new MarkdownIt();
md.use(plainText);

md.render('your markdown content')

// Here are plain text result
md.plainText

Browser

If you load the script directly into the page without using a package system, the module will add itself globally with the name markdownItPlainTextPlugin. Init code will look a bit different in this case:

const md = window.markdownit().use(window.markdownItPlainTextPlugin);

Typescript

If you load the script in ts, you will get the ts(2339) error. You can fix it with

(md as any).plainText

or

// @ts-ignore
md.plainText

Generation rule

1. extract text, fence, html_block, code_block,code_inline, html_inline, emoji content directly
2. add space at closing tag to prevent words from sticking together
3. remove redundant white spaces from result
