Node.js implementation of the @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited module, demonstrating enhanced definition lists processing in markdown with full HTML output.

Remark Deflist Revisited is a Remark plugin. A wrapper around remark-deflist with improved support for nested definition lists. It preserves all the original functionality and performs additional processing.

This project provides a Express.js equivalent of the Cloudflare Worker example, showcasing how to use remark-deflist-revisited in a Node.js environment with Express.js server and modular processing capabilities. Astro and Simple example is also available.

• Full Markdown Processing: Convert markdown with definition lists to HTML
• Enhanced Definition Lists: Support for complex nested structures
• Express.js Server: RESTful API endpoints for markdown processing
• Modular Design: Reusable processor class for integration into other projects
• Beautiful Styling: Professional CSS styling with gradient background
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and validation

• Node.js 20 or higher
• npm, pnpm or yarn

• @verikami/remark-deflist-revisited → Enhanced definition lists for remark
• express → Web server framework
• remark → Markdown processor
• remark-html → HTML serializer for remark
• dedent → Dedent template strings

1. Extend the MarkdownProcessor class with new methods
2. Add new routes to server.js
3. Update error handling as needed

Modify the getStyles() method in markdown.processor.js to customize the appearance:

getStyles() {
  return `
    <style>
      /* Your custom CSS here */
    </style>
  `;
}
