Help with markdown-it link rendering

My eventual application would be to use parse , as I’m trying to extract the text by converting the markdown to a stream of tokens and extracting only the content of the text tokens from that. Is that the wrong way to go about it? If so, how should I approach this?

I've done that before and that was a mistake as their parse method really shouldn't be used directly. Instead use the regular render() method along with a custom plugin you'd write. From the plugin you can access all the tokens, like from parse but in a cleaner way.
