What is this?

This package contains extensions that add support for strikethrough as enabled
by GFM to [micromark][micromark].

When to use this

This project is useful when you want to support strikethrough in markdown.

You can use these extensions when you are working with [micromark][micromark].
To support all GFM features, use
[micromark-extension-gfm][micromark-extension-gfm].

When you need a syntax tree, you can combine this package with
[mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough][mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough].

All these packages are used [remark-gfm][remark-gfm], which focusses on making
it easier to transform content by abstracting these internals away.

Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

``sh
npm install micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough
`

In Deno with [esm.sh][esmsh]:

`js
import {gfmStrikethrough, gfmStrikethroughHtml} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough@2'
`

In browsers with [esm.sh][esmsh]:

`html

`

Use

`js
import {micromark} from 'micromark'
import {
gfmStrikethrough,
gfmStrikethroughHtml
} from 'micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough'

const output = micromark('Some ~strikethrough~.', {
extensions: [gfmStrikethrough()],
htmlExtensions: [gfmStrikethroughHtml()]
})

console.log(output)
`

Yields:

`html


Some strikethrough

.
`

API

This package exports the identifiers
[gfmStrikethrough][api-gfm-strikethrough] and
[gfmStrikethroughHtml][api-gfm-strikethrough-html].
There is no default export.

The export map supports the [development condition][development].
Run node --conditions development module.js to get instrumented dev code.
Without this condition, production code is loaded.

$3

Create an extension for micromark to enable GFM strikethrough syntax.

###### Parameters

* options ([Options][api-options], optional)
— configuration

###### Returns

Extension for micromark that can be passed in extensions, to
enable GFM strikethrough syntax ([Extension][micromark-extension]).

$3

Create an HTML extension for micromark to support GFM strikethrough when
serializing to HTML.

###### Returns

Extension for micromark that can be passed in htmlExtensions, to support
GFM strikethrough when serializing to HTML
([HtmlExtension][micromark-html-extension]).

$3

Configuration (TypeScript type).

###### Fields

* singleTilde (boolean, default: true)
— whether to support strikethrough with a single tilde.
Single tildes work on github.com, but are technically prohibited by the GFM
spec

Authoring

When authoring markdown with strikethrough, it is recommended to use two
markers.
While github.com allows single tildes too, it technically prohibits it in
their spec.

HTML

When tilde sequences match, they together relate to the element in
HTML.
See [§ 4.7.2 The del element][html-del] in the HTML spec for more info.

CSS

GitHub itself does not apply interesting CSS to del elements.
It currently (July 2022) does change code in del.

`css
del code {
text-decoration: inherit;
}
`

For the complete actual CSS see
[sindresorhus/github-markdown-css][github-markdown-css].

Syntax

Strikethrough sequences form with the following BNF:

`bnf
gfm_attention_sequence ::= 1*'~'
`

Sequences are matched together to form strikethrough based on which character
they contain, how long they are, and what character occurs before and after
each sequence.
Otherwise they are turned into data.

Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [Options][api-options].

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,
micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough@^2, compatible with Node.js 16.

This package works with micromark version 3 and later.

Security

This package is safe.
