Is there a plugin to start list line numbers at any number for unified?

[robert-j-webb]

Github's markdown renderer (which is not open source, a real shame) lets you start lists with whatever number you want:

Demo - hello.md

We can inspect and see the HTML looks like:

<ol start="2" dir="auto">
<li>Goodbye</li>
</ol>

Can we achieve that in the unified ecosystem? I have searched extensively and it's just a very hard thing to google.

Thanks!

Welcome @robert-j-webb! 👋
You don't need a plugin, that behavior is how commonmark works, and by extension how remark works by default.
You can plugin your example into the remark playground and see it working https://remark.js.org/

Huh! That's strange, that is how I'm using unified

const processor = unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkFrontmatter)
  .use(remarkGfm)
  .use(remarkRehype, { allowDangerousHtml: true })
  .use(rehypeStringify);

Guess I'll dig into this some more

Ah I had an HTML sanitization step that did not allowlist that HTML attribute. Thanks for the help

Take a look at rehype-raw and rehype-sanitize: you can plug them into that pipeline.
