Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import msgdown from 'msgdown';

✗ const msgdown = require('msgdown');

ESM and CJS both work, but default import is preferred in modern projects.

msgdown (CJS default)

✓ const msgdown = require('msgdown');

✗ const { msgdown } = require('msgdown');

The module exports a single function directly, not a named export.

TypeScript types

✓ import msgdown from 'msgdown';

✗ import * as msgdown from 'msgdown';

No built-in type definitions; consider using @types if available.

Converts an annotated string with delimiters into corresponding HTML tags including bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, subscript, superscript, and code.

import msgdown from 'msgdown'; const msg = '*Attention:* /msgdown/^TM^ is great¡1¡. _Use it_ or ~don\'t~ it is `console.log(\'up to you!\')`'; const html = msgdown(msg); console.log(html); // Attention: msgdownTM is great1. Use it or <del>don't</del> it is <code>console.log('up to you!')</code>

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDelimiters are single characters; using multi-character delimiters will cause incorrect parsing.

fix

Use only single characters as delimiters.

affects: all

gotchaNested delimiters are not supported; markup inside other markup will be misinterpreted.

fix

Avoid nesting delimiters; process separately if needed.

affects: all

gotchaThe 'sub' delimiter is '¡' (inverted exclamation mark) which may be confused with other symbols.

fix

Use custom tokens to avoid confusion if needed.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: msgdown is not a function

Using destructured import { msgdown } instead of default import or require.

fix

Use 'import msgdown from "msgdown";' or 'const msgdown = require("msgdown");'

undefined is not a function (evaluating 'msgdown(msg)')

Importing incorrectly, e.g., 'import * as msgdown from "msgdown";' yields an object with no callable function.

fix

Use default import: 'import msgdown from "msgdown";'
