' '
])

console.log(tree)

`

Syntax

HTML is parsed according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also
followed by all browsers.

Syntax tree

The syntax tree used is [hast][].

Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
hast-util-minify-whitespace@^1,
compatible with Node.js 16.

Security

As rehype works on HTML and improper use of HTML can open you up to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe.
Use [rehype-sanitize][rehype-sanitize] to make the tree safe.
