rehype is a tool that transforms HTML with plugins. These plugins can inspect and change the HTML. You can use rehype on the server, the client, CLIs, deno, etc.
rehype is an ecosystem of plugins that work with HTML as structured data, specifically ASTs (abstract syntax trees). ASTs make it easy for programs to deal with HTML. We call those programs plugins. Plugins inspect and change trees. You can use the many existing plugins or you can make your own.

With this project and a plugin, you can turn this HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Saturn</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Saturn</h1>
<p>Saturn is a gas giant composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium.</p>
</body>
</html>…into the following HTML:
<!doctypehtml><html lang=en><meta charset=utf8><title>Saturn</title><h1>Saturn</h1><p>Saturn is a gas giant composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium.Show example code
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypePresetMinify from 'rehype-preset-minify'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse)
.use(rehypePresetMinify)
.use(rehypeStringify).process(`<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Saturn</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Saturn</h1>
<p>Saturn is a gas giant composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium.</p>
</body>
</html>`)
console.log(String(file))With another plugin, you can turn this HTML:
<h1>Hi, Saturn!</h1>…into the following HTML:
<h2>Hi, Saturn!</h2>Show example code
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(myRehypePluginToIncreaseHeadings)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('<h1>Hi, Saturn!</h1>')
console.log(String(file))
function myRehypePluginToIncreaseHeadings() {
/**
* @param {import('hast').Root} tree
*/
return function (tree) {
visit(tree, 'element', function (node) {
if (['h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5'].includes(node.tagName)) {
node.tagName = 'h' + (Number(node.tagName.charAt(1)) + 1)
}
})
}
}You can use rehype for many different things. unified is the core project that transforms content with ASTs. rehype adds support for HTML to unified. hast is the HTML AST that rehype uses.
This GitHub repository is a monorepo that contains the following packages:
rehype-parse— plugin to take HTML as input and turn it into a syntax tree (hast)rehype-stringify— plugin to take a syntax tree (hast) and turn it into HTML as outputrehype—unified,rehype-parse, andrehype-stringify, useful when input and output are HTMLrehype-cli— CLI aroundrehypeto inspect and format HTML in scripts
Depending on the input you have and output you want, you can use different parts
of rehype.
If the input is HTML, you can use rehype-parse with unified.
If the output is HTML, you can use rehype-stringify with unified
If both the input and output are HTML, you can use rehype on its own.
When you want to inspect and format HTML files in a project, you can use
rehype-cli.
rehype plugins deal with HTML. You can choose from the many plugins that already exist. Here are three good ways to find plugins:
awesome-rehype— selection of the most awesome projects- List of plugins — list of all plugins
rehype-plugintopic — any tagged repo on GitHub
Some plugins are maintained by us here in the @rehypejs organization while
others are maintained by folks elsewhere.
Anyone can make rehype plugins, so as always when choosing whether to include
dependencies in your project, make sure to carefully assess the quality of
rehype plugins too.
The rehype organization and the unified collective as a whole is fully typed
with TypeScript.
Types for hast are available in @types/hast.
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 compatible with Node.js 16.
As improper use of HTML can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks, use of rehype can also be unsafe.
Use rehype-sanitize to make the tree safe.
Use of rehype plugins could also open you up to other attacks. Carefully assess each plugin and the risks involved in using them.
