Integrating Markdown Magic with Remark

[ProfessorManhattan]

Markdown Magic is similar to Remark in the sense that it helps automate the process of creating templated markdown files. It has some unique features that I would like to leverage. Does anyone know how I can integrate Markdown Magic, similar tools, or even my own code into a shared NPM package configuration for the remark CLI so that if I type remark README.md it will use all the features?

I'm basically looking for some hook where I can run markdown-magic or my own code without having to run two different CLIs on the files.

Is this something that would be best integrated as a plugin?

Heya @ProfessorManhattan! 👋

markdown-magic works with text and regular expressions, remark works on syntax trees and visitor patterns.
The two work in fundamentally different ways.
You could wrap both of them in a shell script or alias which runs both on the same file, back to back if you wanted, the only benefit would be saving a few keystrokes in the terminal.

To more efficiently handle files in a single pass.
Consider creating a remark plugin which implements the same feature.
