@unified-myst/target-extension

Extension to support the MyST target syntax ((name)=) in unified.

Semantically, a target is an identifier for referencing the preceding syntax block.

For example:

(name)=
# Header

Allows for the header to be referenced by the identifier name.

Multiple targets can be defined, such that all identifiers will be applied to the preceding (non-target) syntax block, e.g.

(name1)=
(name2)=
# Header

Targets must be unique, across the entire document.

TODO

Parsing considerations:

• whitespace inside (...)
• target within other flow level elements
• What to do with non-whitespace after =?
  • Should it invalidate the line?
  • Should a new block be allowed?
• identifier normalisation?
