Show HN: My LLM CLI tool can run tools now, from Python code or plugins
The real solution is semantic routing. You want to be able to define routing rules based on something like mdast (https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast) . This is certainly on my itinerary and I've built a few hacked versions. This would allow for things like terminal rendering and quite a bit more.

Building ask-PDF service using LLMs
I ended up using mdast to split each section into chunks between 1000 and 2000 characters. I made exceptions for tables, code blocks, blockquotes, and lists.

Remark plug-in, wrapping a span around a string
The actual splitting of the node into those 3 new nodes will depend on the type of AST node (see docs). If you look at other remark plugins, you might find examples or utils for doing that more easily.

Contentlayer with next/image
contentlayer uses remark to parse the markdown in an mdast. We can now use remark plugins to modify the mdast. Then rehype comes into play and converts the mdast into a hast. rehype plugins can now modify the hast. Finally the hast is converted into react components.

Converting and customizing Markdown files to HTML with Unified, remark & rehype
remark parses and process the Markdown text, and converts it into an abstract syntax tree (AST). This tree is composed of unist nodes, which follow the Markdown Abstract Syntax Tree (mdast) structure.

How to create a custom lint rule for Markdown and MDX using remark and ESLint
Because we will be inspecting a mdast, which is a markdown abstract syntax tree built upon unist, we can take advantage of the many existing unist utilities to inspect our tree's nodes.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing babel-parser and mdast you can also consider the following projects:
Acorn - A small, fast, JavaScript-based JavaScript parser
vfile - Virtual file format for text processing used in @unifiedjs
Rocambole - Recursively walk and transform EcmaScript AST
unist - Universal Syntax Tree used by @unifiedjs
