=> '<h1 id="example-header">Example</h1>'
```

## Install

```

[markdown-it-named-headers]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-named-headers

## Prior art

This works exactly like [markdown-it-named-headers][], except this plugin operates on the token level, not the renderer. The result is that it can be chained with other markdown-it plugins that would want to have access to the ID.
