how to disable the "autolink-literal" behavior of remark-gfm (but keep the rest)

[stefanprobst]

is it possible to disable just the "autolink literal" behavior of remark-gfm (e.g. parsing "[email protected]" into an anchor tag), but keep the rest of gfm behavior?

remark-gfm uses micromark-extension-gfm and mdast-util-gfm. As you can see from the source code, they combine various extensions. You can cherry-pick those yourself. I.e. something like:

import { gfmFootnoteFromMarkdown, gfmFootnoteToMarkdown } from 'mdast-util-gfm-footnote'
import { gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown, gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown } from 'mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough'
import { gfmTableFromMarkdown, gfmTableToMarkdown } from 'mdast-util-gfm-table'
import { gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown } from 'mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item'
import { gfmFootnote } from 'micromark-extension-gfm-footnote'
import { gfmStrikethrough } from 'micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough'
import { gfmTable } from 'micromark-extension-gfm-table'
import { gfmTaskListItem } from 'micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item'

export function remarkCustomGfm() {
  const data = this.data()

  data.micromarkExtensions ||= []
  data.fromMarkdownExtensions ||= []
  data.toMarkdownExtensions ||= []

  data.micromarkExtensions.push(
    gfmFootnote(),
    gfmStrikethrough(),
    gfmTable(),
    gfmTaskListItem()
  )
  data.fromMarkdownExtensions.push(
    gfmFootnoteFromMarkdown(),
    gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown(),
    gfmTableFromMarkdown(),
    gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown()
  )
  data.toMarkdownExtensions.push(
    gfmFootnoteToMarkdown(),
    gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown(),
    gfmTableToMarkdown(),
    gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown()
  )
}

it is indeed very much possible, but I don’t recommend picking and choosing for most folks, so I don’t want to make that too easy! While there are significant drawbacks to this particular (sub)extension, I think markdown will be in a worse place if everyone picks and chooses flavors!
