remark-rehype bridges the gap between Markdown and HTML by transforming Markdown syntax trees (produced by Remark) into HTML syntax trees (suitable for Rehype). This allows for processing Markdown content and seamlessly integrating it with the Rehype ecosystem for further manipulation like minification, styling, or transforming it into other formats. The package simplifies workflows that require converting Markdown to accessible and well-structured HTML. It's a core component for modern web development leveraging Markdown as a content source.
Remark-rehype downloads show a strong upward trend from March 2024 to August 2025, increasing from 10.3 million to 33.3 million. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower at 12.5 million, but this is likely due to incomplete data for the month.
The remark-rehype npm package has had sporadic releases since its initial version in June 2016. Releases were most frequent in 2016 and 2021, with periods of inactivity in between.
