remark-gfm is a remark (unified) plugin that adds GitHub Flavored Markdown support to markdown parsing and serialization, including autolink literals, footnotes, strikethrough, tables, and tasklists. It integrates into the unified ecosystem so markdown can be processed with GFM extensions before conversion to HTML or other formats.

Use cases

• render markdown tables in my app like GitHub does
• support strikethrough and tasklists when parsing markdown
• parse footnotes in markdown files
• make autolink literals like www.example.com clickable
• process GitHub-flavored markdown into HTML with unified
• match markdown rendering behavior to GitHub's

When to choose

• you use remark/unified and need GFM features such as tables, footnotes, strikethrough, tasklists, or autolinks
• you want markdown rendering consistent with GitHub's behavior
• you need parsing and serialization of GFM extensions in JavaScript

When to avoid

• you don't use the remark/unified ecosystem and need a standalone markdown parser
• you only need CommonMark without GitHub extensions
• you need HTML rendering itself, which is handled by remark-rehype
