Basic Usage

import { unified } from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import remarkNotes from 'remark-notes-plugin'

const markdown = `
> [!note]
> This is a note about something important.

> [!tip]
> Here's a helpful tip for you.

> [!important]
> This is a very important message!

> [!quote]
> Here's a memorable quote.

> [!bonus]
> Here's some extra content for you!
`

const file = await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkNotes)
  .use(remarkRehype)
  .use(rehypeStringify)
  .process(markdown)

console.log(String(file))

Configuration Options

import remarkNotes from 'remark-notes-plugin'

// Default configuration (styles are auto-injected)
unified().use(remarkNotes)

// Custom class prefix
unified().use(remarkNotes, { 
  classPrefix: 'my-callout' 
})
// Generates classes like: my-callout-remark-note, my-callout-remark-note-tip, etc.

// Disable automatic style injection (import CSS manually)
unified().use(remarkNotes, { 
  injectStyles: false 
})
// Then import: import 'remark-notes-plugin/styles.css'

// Both options
unified().use(remarkNotes, { 
  classPrefix: 'custom',
  injectStyles: false 
})

📝 Note Types

The plugin supports five distinct types of notes, each with its own unique style:

1. Note - For general information and remarks

   > [!note]
   > Your note content here

2. Tip - For helpful tips and tricks

   > [!tip]
   > Your tip content here

3. Important - For critical information and warnings

   > [!important]
   > Your important message here

4. Quote - For quotations and references

   > [!quote]
   > Your quote content here

5. Bonus - For additional, supplementary content

   > [!bonus]
   > Your bonus content here

🎨 Styling

By default, styles are automatically injected into your document. You can customize this behavior:

Automatic Style Injection (Default)

Styles are included automatically when you use the plugin with default settings:

unified().use(remarkNotes) // Styles auto-injected

Manual Style Import

If you prefer to manage styles yourself (e.g., for SSR or custom build tools), disable auto-injection:

unified().use(remarkNotes, { injectStyles: false })

Then manually import the CSS:

import 'remark-notes-plugin/styles.css'

Customizing Styles

The plugin uses a modular class structure that makes it easy to customize the appearance:

Base Classes

• .remark-note - Base container for all note types
• .remark-note-header - Note header container
• .remark-note-icon - Icon styling
• .remark-note-title - Note title styling
• .remark-note-content - Note content container

Type-Specific Classes

• .remark-note-note - Note type styling
• .remark-note-tip - Tip type styling
• .remark-note-important - Important type styling
• .remark-note-quote - Quote type styling
• .remark-note-bonus - Bonus type styling

Custom Class Prefix

You can add a custom prefix to all CSS classes:

unified().use(remarkNotes, { classPrefix: 'my-callout' })

This generates classes like:

• .my-callout-remark-note
• .my-callout-remark-note-tip
• .my-callout-remark-note-header
• etc.

Customization Example

/* Example: Customize the Note type */
.remark-note-note {
  background-color: #your-color;
  border-color: #your-border-color;
}

.remark-note-note .remark-note-title {
  color: #your-text-color;
}
