markdown-title

Parses title from Markdown-formatted text

Install

$ npm install markdown-title

Usage

const markdownTitle = require('markdown-title')
 
let markdown = `
# Title
`
 
let title = markdownTitle(markdown) //=> Title

The first H1-level title that is found in your Markdown document will be returned, regardless of its position. Supports pound-style headers, not underlined headers (see original Markdown docs). The reason is that I haven’t ever found an underlined header in the wild, and it’s much harder to parse:

This works:

# Title

This, too:

#     I can title? #

This doesn’t:

Title
