> [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) plugin for keystrokes
Renders `[[x]]` as `x`. ([``](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_kbd.asp) is the tag for keystrokes).
## Usage
```js
const md = require('markdown-it')();
const kbd = require('markdown-it-kbd');
md.use(kbd);
```
This plugin can also be used together with [`markdown-it-attrs`](https://github.com/arve0/markdown-it-attrs/).
## Syntax notes
The end tag `]]` must be on the same line as the start tag `[[`.
The characters “`[`” and “`]`” are not allowed within keystroke tags.
If you need to use them, escape them with a backslash (i.e. `\[` or `\]`) or use HTML escape sequences (`[` for `[` or `]` for `]`).
