fix: render code block props as `data-*` attributes on native `pre` by danielroe · Pull Request #463 · comarkdown/comark

danielroe · 2026-09-28T15:53:05Z

What

Why

I noticed that we render something like <pre language="ruby"> which means this would fail an HTML validation

try https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea with this example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<pre language="typescript">
const a = 43
</pre>
</body>
</html>

it rightly complains, as language (and the other attributes we set) are not valid global HTML attributes

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Code blocks now render language, filename, highlighted-line, and metadata details as data-* attributes on native HTML <pre> elements across supported frameworks.
- Custom code-block components continue to receive these details as props, and child bindings can still access the original values.
Documentation
- Updated code-block examples to show the data-* attribute format.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds conversion of code-block language and metadata properties to data-* attributes on native elements. The conversion is used by the HTML stringifier and Angular, React, Svelte, and Vue renderers. Custom components retain the original props. Tests and expected HTML examples reflect the output.

Changes

Native code-block attribute conversion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute conversion and serialization `packages/comark/src/utils/index.ts`, `packages/comark/src/internal/stringify/handlers/html.ts`	`toNativeAttributes` maps `language`, `filename`, `highlights`, and `meta` on `pre` elements to `data-*` attributes. It JSON-stringifies non-null object values. The HTML stringifier applies this conversion before serializing attributes.
Native rendering and expected output `packages/comark-{angular,react,svelte,vue}/src/components/`, `packages/comark-{react,svelte,vue}/test/`, `test/bundle.test.ts`	The framework renderers apply the conversion to native elements and leave custom-component props unconverted. Tests cover native output, custom-component props, and child bindings. The bundle size snapshots are updated.
Code-block examples and expected HTML `packages/comark/SPEC/{COMARK,common-mark}/*.md`, `docs/content/2.syntax/3.attributes.md`	Code-block examples and expected HTML use `data-*` attributes on `pre` elements.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8feda

Native code-block elements now use data attributes while custom-component props and child bindings retain their original values. No concrete merge-blocking regression is established, so the change is ready for normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8feda

The reviewed paths change code-block output without showing a new security boundary bypass. Custom components retain their existing props. Security coverage is incomplete, so the assessment is low risk rather than a claim of comprehensive safety.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — Content supplying code-block properties can affect native pre attributes in serialized and framework-rendered output. The reviewed change does not expand that conversion to custom-component props.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The reviewed resolution path filters specified DOM sinks and unsafe bound URLs; serialized HTML attributes also pass through name validation and value escaping. These observations do not establish complete safety for every rendering path.
