remark-reference-links

remark plugin to transform links and images into references and definitions.

Install

npm:

npm install remark-reference-links

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md:

[foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), [foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), [bar](http://example.com "Example Domain").

![foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), ![foo](http://example.com "Example Domain"), ![bar](http://example.com "Example Domain").

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var fs = require('fs')
var remark = require('remark')
var links = require('remark-reference-links')

remark()
  .use(links)
  .process(fs.readFileSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

[foo][1], [foo][1], [bar][1].

![foo][1], ![foo][1], ![bar][1].

[1]: http://example.com "Example Domain"

API

remark().use(referenceLinks)

Plugin to transform links and images into references and definitions.

Security

Use of remark-reference-links does not involve rehype (hast) or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
