markdown-it-anchor

Header anchors for markdown-it.

Usage

const md = require('markdown-it')
  .use(require('markdown-it-anchor'), opts)

See a demo as JSFiddle.

The opts object can contain:

Name	Description	Default
level	Minimum level to apply anchors on.	1
slugify	A custom slugification function.	string.js' slugify
permalink	Whether to add permalinks next to titles.	false
renderPermalink	A custom permalink rendering function.	See index.es6.js
permalinkClass	The class of the permalink anchor.	header-anchor
permalinkSymbol	The symbol in the permalink anchor.	¶
permalinkBefore	Place the permalink before the title.	false
permalinkHref	A custom permalink href rendering function.	See index.es6.js
callback	Called with token and info after rendering.	undefined

The renderPermalink function takes the slug, an options object with the above options, and then all the usual markdown-it rendering arguments.

All headers above level will then have an id attribute with a slug of their content, and if permalink is true, a ¶ symbol linking to the header itself.

You may want to use the link symbol as permalinkSymbol, or a symbol from your favorite web font.

The callback option is a function that will be called at the end of rendering with the token and an info object. The info object has title and slug properties with the token content and the slug used for the identifier.
