How to convert a token's type

[spifory]

During walkTokens, with an image type, I'd like to do a try/catch that tries fetching the href and if it fails to do so, then it should change the entire thing from image to type. So for instance:

	try {
		// ![](https://invalid-image.com)
		const image = await fetch(token.href)
	} except {
		token.text = 'link'
		token.type = 'link' // Something like this, however it doesn't seen to work when I do this
		// [link](https://invalid-image.com)
	}

That will work but link has sub tokens in token.tokens that the parser uses to render the text.

So it will have to be something like

  try {
		// ![](https://invalid-image.com)
		const image = await fetch(token.href)
	} except {
		token.text = 'link'
		token.type = 'link'
    token.tokens = lexer.inlineTokens(token.text); // This will tell the parser what to output
	}

Ah okay I see. Yeah works out pretty well, but I'm curious if there's a way for it to this without marked turning the token into HTML code? Currently it returns this as <a href="http://invalid.url">ee</a> when I would like for it to be returned as [ee](http://invalid.url).

In case this is useful, this try/catch is under my walkTokens that gets passed into a await parseInline(..., { walkTokens })

You want marked to output markdown?

You will have to update the renderers. You can just return the token.raw property for most of them.

Awesome, thanks for the help!
