Make CommonMark more friendly for Japanese/Chinese/Korean (CommonMark next specification draft)—plugins & patched packages
Markdown CJK friendly adapts CommonMark for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
markdown-cjk-friendly is a set of packages that make CommonMark friendlier for CJK text, offered as a draft for the next CommonMark specification. It is written in TypeScript and licensed under MIT.
Packages available
The repository ships several packages: markdown-it-cjk-friendly, remark-cjk-friendly, and remark-cjk-friendly-gfm-strikethrough. Each is published to npm and the README shows version, download, and security badges for them. This lets users pick the integration that matches their existing markdown pipeline.
What it targets
The goal is to make CommonMark more friendly for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean text. The project is presented as a CommonMark next specification draft that comes with plugins and patched packages, so the changes can be tried today while also feeding the standards discussion for how CJK text should be handled.
How it is used
The tools are provided as plugins and patched packages that fit into markdown-it and remark based workflows. The README links to a DeepWiki entry for documentation, and the npm badges point to the individual package pages where users can read usage notes and install the version they need for their project.
Editorial conclusion
The packages are written in TypeScript, released under the MIT license, and distributed through npm alongside the project CommonMark draft proposal.
