comark v0.6.1

Highlights

It's all about performance:

• Rangi highlighter — a new lightweight syntax-highlighting plugin via comark/plugins/rangi (optional peer dependency: rangi)
• Default plugin control — registerDefaultPlugins lets you enable or disable built-in plugins (frontmatter, html, alert, task-list, components, attributes)
• Parse timing — the perf option records timing spans for autoclose, tokenization, node creation, and each plugin's pre/post hook

Deprecations

In this version, the highlight plugin is deprecated in favor of the shiki plugin. We also deprecate the html parser option in favor of the html plugin.

Deprecated	Prefer	Notes
comark/plugins/highlight	comark/plugins/shiki	Alias only; removed in the next major release
Framework */plugins/highlight (e.g. @comark/svelte/plugins/highlight)	*/plugins/shiki	Same alias behavior
HighlightOptions type	ShikiOptions	Kept as an alias
ParserOptions.html	registerDefaultPlugins: false + register html() when needed	Warns at runtime; html: false still skips the default HTML plugin for now

Migration snippets

// before
import highlight from 'comark/plugins/highlight'

// after
import shiki from 'comark/plugins/shiki'

// before
parseMarkdown(md, { html: false })

// after
parseMarkdown(md, {
  registerDefaultPlugins: false,
  // + register the plugins you want
})

// or keep the default plugins and explicitly omit the HTML plugin
