mdast-normalize-headings

mdast utility to make sure that there is only one top-level heading in the document by adjusting headings depths accordingly.

Providing multiple top-level headings per single markdown document is confusing for tools that assume that there is only a single top-level heading that contains some meta-information (usually title) about the document.

Install

npm:

npm install mdast-normalize-headings

Use

var u = require('unist-builder')
var normalizeHeadings = require('mdast-normalize-headings')

var tree = u('root', [
  u('heading', {depth: 1}, [u('text', 'title')]),
  u('heading', {depth: 2}, [u('text', 'description')]),
  u('heading', {depth: 1}, [u('text', 'example')])
])

console.log(tree)

normalizeHeadings(tree)

console.log(tree)

Yields:

{ type: 'root',
  children:
   [ { type: 'heading', depth: 1, children: [Array] },
     { type: 'heading', depth: 2, children: [Array] },
     { type: 'heading', depth: 1, children: [Array] } ] }
{ type: 'root',
  children:
   [ { type: 'heading', depth: 1, children: [Array] },
     { type: 'heading', depth: 3, children: [Array] },
     { type: 'heading', depth: 2, children: [Array] } ] }
