Description
Describe the feature
Is it possible to provide an option in the lexer, like enableEscaping: boolean; that controls the lexer should turn any characters (e.g. &, <, > etc) into escaping characters (e.g. &, <, > etc).
const tokens = marked.lexer(text, {
enableEscaping: false,
});Why is this feature necessary?
- For example, when I get a token like
{type: 'codespan', raw: '<h1>', text: '<h1>'}. I wish to display the text normally. I have to use extra calculations like regular expressions to turn<h1>back to<h1>. - But this is essentially just undoing the process during the first time (default tokenizer in
marked) which caused meaningless extra calculations. - So my suggestion is to provide an option that prevents the escaping process in the first place inside the default lexer.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I saw the issue answered in 2022 said I have to override the tokenizer to achieve this.
