## What is this?

This package exposes an algorithm to parse character escapes and character
references.

## When should I use this?

This package might be useful when you are making your own micromark extensions.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install micromark-util-decode-string
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {decodeString} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-decode-string@1'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {decodeString} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-decode-string@1?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {decodeString} from 'micromark-util-decode-string'

decodeString('a &semi; b') // 'a ; b'
decodeString('a \\; b') // 'a ; b'
decodeString('a ; b') // 'a ; b'
```

## API

This module exports the identifier [`decodeString`][api-decode-string].
There is no default export.

### `decodeString(value)`

Decode markdown strings (which occur in places such as fenced code info strings,
destinations, labels, and titles).

The “string” content type allows character escapes and -references.
This decodes those.

###### Parameters

*   `value` (`string`)
    — value to decode

###### Returns

Decoded value (`string`).

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained
versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 16+.
Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.

This package works with `micromark` version 3+.

## Security

This package is safe.
See [`security.md`][securitymd] in [`micromark/.github`][health] for how to
submit a security report.

## Contribute

See [`contributing.md`][contributing] in [`micromark/.github`][health] for ways
to get started.
See [`support.md`][support] for ways to get help.

This project has a [code of conduct][coc].
