Opening list items with li

After opening list items with <li> , any whitespace, including new lines, is removed. This can be useful when you are styling your list items with li::before and use display settings of inline or inline-grid (as an example). In such scenarios a whitespace between the opening <li> tag and the following content would always be rendered as an additional space by the browser, which is something you typically wouldn't want.

HTML written inside of your markdown text will not be affected by this plugin - only markdown output rendering is altered.

With the markdown-it-trimmer the following output html will never be produced:

<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Hello world</p>
  </li>
</ul>

Instead, the markup will get trimmed into:

<ul>
  <li><p>Hello world</p></li>
</ul>

Install

npm i markdown-it-trimmer

Usage

var markdownIt = require("markdown-it")
