remark-autolink-headings

Automatically add links to headings in Markdown.

Install

With npm do:

npm install remark-autolink-headings --save

Example

remark-autolink-headings is designed to work with remark-html & remark-slug, and creates GitHub style links for each of your headings:

var remark   = require('remark');
var html     = require('remark-html');
var slug     = require('remark-slug');
var headings = require('remark-autolink-headings');

var markdown = '# Hello';
var result   = remark().use([ slug, headings, html ]).process(markdown);
console.log(result);

//=> <h1 id="hello"><a href="#hello" aria-hidden="true"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Hello</h1>

Note that this module must be included after remark-slug.

API

remark.use(headings, [options])

options

behaviour

Type: string Default: prepend

Set this to prepend to inject the link before the heading text; append after it, and wrap to wrap the whole heading text with the link. Note that supplying wrap will ignore any value defined by the content option.

content

Type: Object|Array Default: {type: 'element', tagName: 'span', properties: {className: [icon, ${icon}-${link}]} }

Supply a list of HAST nodes or a single node here. For further details, please refer to the specification at https://github.com/wooorm/hast.

linkProperties

Type: object

By default, when using the append or prepend behaviour, this will add aria-hidden="false" to the anchor. When using the wrap behaviour, this is left empty for you to add any extra HTML attributes.
