What is this?

This package is a [unified][] ([retext][]) plugin that defines how to take a
syntax tree as input and turn it into serialized natural language.
When it’s used, natural language is serialized as the final result.

See [the monorepo readme][retext] for info on what the retext ecosystem is.

When should I use this?

This plugin adds support to unified for serializing natural language.
You can alternatively use [retext][retext-core] instead, which combines
unified, [retext-latin][retext-latin], and this plugin.

Install

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

``sh
npm install retext-stringify
`

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

`js
import retextStringify from 'https://esm.sh/retext-stringify@4'
`

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

`html

`

Use

`js
import retextEmoji from 'retext-emoji'
import retextLatin from 'retext-latin'
import retextProfanities from 'retext-profanities'
import retextStringify from 'retext-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await unified()
.use(retextLatin)
.use(retextProfanities)
.use(retextEmoji, {convert: 'encode'})
.use(retextStringify)
.process('He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! :cop:')

console.log(String(file))
console.error(reporter(file))
`

Yields:

`txt
He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! 👮
`

`txt
1:26-1:30 warning Be careful with butt, it’s profane in some cases butt retext-profanities

⚠ 1 warning
`

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, retext-stringify@^4,
compatible with Node.js 16.
