This package is a [unified][] ([retext][]) plugin to check for simpler
alternatives.
For example it suggest use instead of utilize.
You can opt-into this plugin when you’re dealing with content that might contain
overlong words or phrases, and have authors that can fix that content.
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
``sh`
npm install retext-simplify
In Deno with [esm.sh][esmsh]:
`js`
import retextSimplify from 'https://esm.sh/retext-simplify@8'
In browsers with [esm.sh][esmsh]:
`html`
Say our document example.txt contains:
`txt`
You can utilize a shorter word.
Be advised, don’t do this.
That’s the appropriate thing to do.
…and our module example.js looks as follows:
`js
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextSimplify from 'retext-simplify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
const file = await retext()
.use(retextSimplify)
.process(await read('example.txt'))
console.error(reporter(file))
`
…now running node example.js yields:
`txtutilize
example.txt

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, retext-simplify@^8,
compatible with Node.js 16.
