What is this?

This package exposes an algorithm to parse character escapes and character
references.

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-decode-string
`

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

`js
import {decodeString} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-decode-string@1'
`

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

`html

`

Use

`js
import {decodeString} from 'micromark-util-decode-string'

decodeString('a ; b') // 'a ; b'
decodeString('a \\; b') // 'a ; b'
decodeString('a ; b') // 'a ; b'
`

API

This module exports the identifier [decodeString][api-decode-string].
There is no default export.

$3

Decode markdown strings (which occur in places such as fenced code info strings,
destinations, labels, and titles).

The “string” content type allows character escapes and -references.
This decodes those.

###### Parameters

* value (string)
— value to decode

###### Returns

Decoded value (string).

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-decode-string@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.
