rehype-meta-string

A rehype plugin for parsing the meta string of markdown code fence.

This plugin parse the meta string into key-value paris and assign them to code tag ast nodes.

The parsing contains rules below:

• true: empty or literal value true is treated as true
• false: literal value false is treated as false
• word: literal string without spaces is treated as word.
• sentence: double quoted, singled quoted, back-ticked string are treated as string.
• range: square brackets wrapped string is treated as range numbers. It requires format like {digits}-{digits}.
• mixed: mix all the markers above.

There is the illustration table:

| meta string | parsed | | --------------- | ------------------- | | foo | { foo: true } | | foo=true | { foo: false } | | | foo=false | { foo: false } | | | foo=bar | { foo: "bar" } | | | foo="false" | { foo: "false" } | | foo='false' | { foo: "false" } | | foo=`false` | { foo: "false" } | | foo="true" | { foo: "true" } | | foo='true' | { foo: "true" } | | foo=`true` | { foo: "true" } | | foo="bar baz" | { foo: "bar baz" } | | foo='bar baz' | { foo: "bar baz" } | | foo=`bar baz` | { foo: "bar baz" } | | | foo=[42-71] | { foo: [42, 71] } | | | foo foo1=true foo2=false foo3=bar foo4="true" foo5='false' foo6=`hello world` foo7=[42-71] | { foo: true, foo1: true, foo2: false, foo3: "bar", foo4: "true", foo5: "false", foo6="hello world", foo7: [42, 71] }
