@shikijs/markdown-it

markdown-it plugin for Shiki.

Install

npm i -D @shikijs/markdown-it

Usage

import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it'
import Shiki from '@shikijs/markdown-it'

const md = MarkdownIt()

md.use(await Shiki({
  themes: {
    light: 'vitesse-light',
    dark: 'vitesse-dark',
  }
}))

Fine-grained Bundle

By default, the full bundle of shiki will be imported. If you are using a fine-grained bundle, you can import from @shikijs/markdown-it/core and pass your own highlighter:

import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it'
import { fromHighlighter } from '@shikijs/markdown-it/core'
import { createHighlighterCore } from 'shiki/core'

const highlighter = await createHighlighterCore({
  themes: [
    import('shiki/themes/vitesse-light.mjs')
  ],
  langs: [
    import('shiki/langs/javascript.mjs'),
  ],
  loadWasm: import('shiki/wasm')
})

const md = MarkdownIt()

md.use(fromHighlighter(highlighter, { /* options */ }))

Features

Line Highlight

WARNING

This is deprecated. It's disabled by default in v0.10.0 and will be removed in the next minor. Consider use transformerNotationHighlight instead.

In addition to the features of shiki, this plugin also supports line highlighting. You can specify line numbers to highlight after the language name in the format {<line-numbers>} - a comma separated list of <line-number>s, wrapped in curly braces. Each line number can be a single number (e.g. {2} highlights line 2 and {1,4} highlights lines 1 and 4) or a range (e.g. {5-7} highlights lines 1 through 7, and {1-3,5-6} highlights lines 1 through 3 and 5 through 6). For example:

```js {1,3-4}
console.log('1') // highlighted
console.log('2')
console.log('3') // highlighted
console.log('4') // highlighted
```

INFO

If line highlighting is not working, it may be due to compatibility issues with the markdown-it-attrs plugin. The syntax of markdown-it-attrs uses the same curly brace ({}) syntax that this plugin uses, which causes line highlighting to not work. If you wish to continue using markdown-it-attrs alongside this plugin, consider changing the delimiter/syntax of markdown-it-attrs to use a different character, such as %.
