A Remark plugin that allows passing a language to inline code. This is useful for syntax highlighting.

Note: This is not a standard markdown feature.

`_js console.log()`

npm i -D remark-inline-code-language

import { unified } from "unified"
import remarkParse from "remark-parse"
import remarkInlineCodeLanguage from "remark-inline-code-language"

const mdast = await unified()
	.use(remarkParse)
	.parse("`_js console.log()`")

const result = unified()
	.use(remarkInlineCodeLanguage)
	.runSync(mdast)

console.log(JSON.stringify(result.children[0].children[0], null, 4))

{
	"type": "inlineCode",
	"value": "console.log()",
	"lang": "js"
}

You can customize the syntax!

If you are going to only change 1 option, sadly you need to add in all other options too.

.use(remarkInlineCodeLanguage, {
	// ...
})

This is the character(s) that separates the language name from the code content itself.

• Type: string
• Default: "_"

• "_" => _js console.log()
• "+" => +js console.log()
• "=" => =js console.log()

• Type: "before" | "after" | "both"
• Default: "before"

• "before" => _js console.log()
• "after" => js_ console.log()
• "both" => _js_ console.log()
