veriKami °// Remark Deflist Revisited

Remark plugin. A wrapper around remark-deflist with improved support for nested definition lists. It preserves all the original functionality and performs additional processing. Bun, Deno and Cloudflare Workers compatibility. Also works in Astro and web browser.

Installation

ツ pnpm add @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited
ツ npm i @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited

The interactive Sample Installer

ツ npm create remark-deflist-revisited@latest

Cloudflare Worker demo

ツ npx @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited@latest
ツ npx @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited --help

TypeScript version

ツ pnpm add jsr:@verikami/remark-deflist-revisited
ツ npx jsr add @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited

Usage

The problem with remark-deflist is that the plugin renders nested list items inside <dd> incorrectly.

Markdown

Term
: - item A
  - item B
  - item C

With remark-deflist

<dl>
<dt> Term </dt>
<dd>
  <ul>
    <li> item A </li>
  </ul>
</dl>
<ul>
  <li> item B </li>
  <li> item C </li>
</ul>

With @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited

<dl>
<dt>Term</dt>
<dd>
  <ul>
    <li> item A </li>
    <li> item B </li>
    <li> item C </li>
  </ul>
</dl>

Notes

Using : * as a list marker (especially for the first item) is resolved in v0.4.0
Using : - *x* or : - **x** is not problematic
Coverage 100% via Codecov from version v0.4.1
Cloudflare Worker demo via npx from version v0.5.22
Score 100/100 via Socket from version v0.5.23
