Feature highlights

compliant — 100% to CommonMark, 100% to GFM or MDX with a plugin

MDAST — markdown ASTs that inspecting and changing content made easy

HAST — HTML ASTs that inspecting and changing content made easy

Syntax

Markdown is parsed and serialized according to CommonMark. Other plugins can add support for syntax extensions.

It's used by micromark for it's parsing. See its documentation for more information on markdown, CommonMark, and extensions.

MarkDown Syntax tree

The syntax tree used in iMark is mdast by remark-parse. It represents markdown constructs as JSON objects.

This markdown:

## Hello *Pluto*!

…yields the following tree (positional info remove for brevity):

{
  type: 'heading',
  depth: 2,
  children: [
    {type: 'text', value: 'Hello '},
    {type: 'emphasis', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Pluto'}]}
    {type: 'text', value: '!'}
  ]
}

HTML Syntax tree

The syntax tree used in iMark is hast by remark-rehype.

Intro

iMark is an ecosystem of plugins that work with markdown as structured data, specifically ASTs (abstract syntax trees). ASTs make it easy for programs to deal with markdown. We call those programs plugins. Plugins inspect and change trees. You can use the many existing plugins or you can make your own.

iMark integrated some packages that contains the following:

It supports CommonMark by default. Non-standard markdown extensions can be enabled with plugins. For example, it support for GFM (autolink literals, footnotes, strikethrough, tables, tasklists) in @jhuix/remark-gfm. It also support Kroki diagrams server, kroki provides a unified API with support for BlockDiag (BlockDiag, SeqDiag, ActDiag, NwDiag, PacketDiag, RackDiag), BPMN, Bytefield, C4 (with PlantUML), D2, DBML, Ditaa, Erd, Excalidraw, GraphViz, Mermaid, Nomnoml, Pikchr, PlantUML, Structurizr, SvgBob, Symbolator, TikZ, UMLet, Vega, Vega-Lite, WaveDrom, WireViz..
