What is this?

This package exposes an algorithm to classify characters into 3 categories.

When should I use this?

This package might be useful when you are making your own micromark extensions.

Install

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

``sh
npm install micromark-util-classify-character
`

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

`js
import {classifyCharacter} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-classify-character@1'
`

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

`html

`

Use

`js
/**
* @this {TokenizeContext}
* Context.
* @type {Tokenizer}
*/
function tokenizeAttention(effects, ok) {
return start

// …

/* @type {State} /
function sequence(code) {
if (code === marker) {
// …
}

const token = effects.exit('attentionSequence')
const after = classifyCharacter(code)
const open =
!after || (after === constants.characterGroupPunctuation && before)
const close =
!before || (before === constants.characterGroupPunctuation && after)
// …
}

// …
}
`

API

This module exports the identifier
[classifyCharacter][api-classify-character].
There is no default export.

$3

Classify whether a code represents whitespace, punctuation, or something
else.

Used for attention (emphasis, strong), whose sequences can open or close
based on the class of surrounding characters.

> 👉 Note: eof (null) is seen as whitespace.

###### Parameters

* code (Code)
— code

###### Returns

Group (constants.characterGroupWhitespace,
constants.characterGroupPunctuation, or undefined).

Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.

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-util-classify-character@2, compatible with Node.js 16.
This package works with micromark@3.

Security

This package is safe.
See [security.md][securitymd] in [micromark/.github][health] for how to
submit a security report.
