Problem

  • A document that starts with a byte order mark (fs.readFileSync keeps it) gets the fence as the language of each fenced code block: render() and react() give "~~~js" for ~~~js, ansi() and bun file.md lose the highlighting. html() is right. Found by fuzzing.
  • The parser skips the mark (src/md/parser.rs:526) and reports the info string as an offset into its own text. The renderers read that offset in their own copy, which still has the mark.

Fix

  • The parser reports fenced code with two new RendererImpl events that carry a FencedCode. Its language() reads the parser's text.
  • No renderer keeps the source: src_text, extract_language, code_lang, code_fenced and the stack entries' flags are deleted.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/md/, test/cli/run/markdown-entrypoint.test.ts. The mark tests fail on main. 801 spec examples without a mark render as on main.
  • Self-reviewed: 13 concerns raised, 13 addressed.

Background

  • RendererImpl (src/md/types.rs) is the parser's event interface to a renderer. Fenced code was its only block with a text offset.
  • Considered: the parser starts after the mark and keeps the caller's text. That is 24 lines and no new event, but the renderers keep their unchecked copies. A question for the maintainer: see Notes.

Downsides

  • Release binary: +3,328 bytes of .text, +96 bytes of vtables.
  • No speed or memory cost found: per paragraph, html -8.4, ansi -12.1, react -15.9, render -9.6 instructions against main.
  • Not fixed: only html() resolves escapes and entities in the language (as on main).
Notes

Where it came from. A fuzzer found it and @Jarred-Sumner relayed it. No issue or user report exists. The bug is as old as Bun.markdown.render() (#26440). The reporter saw the same output on 1.3.14 through 1.4.3.

Question for the maintainer. Two shapes fix this bug. This PR is the first one.

  1. Events (this PR). A renderer that does not want source cannot index text, because it has none. markdown: skip front matter from the parser start, and add Bun.markdown.frontmatter() #47980 can then strip front matter in one place. Cost: two defaulted RendererImpl methods, the FencedCode type, 3,328 bytes.
  2. Start offset. render_with_renderer keeps text whole and process_doc starts after the mark. 24 changed lines in src/md/parser.rs and src/md/blocks.rs, no trait change. A prototype of it passes the four test files of this PR. The four renderers keep src_text and the three copies of the language scan. A renderer that is built from another slice than the parser gets is wrong again, and the compiler does not see it. The input size limit then counts the 3 bytes of the mark, where html() does not.

If the second shape is wanted, I rework this PR to it and keep the tests.

#47980 (front matter) now has the second shape as Parser::doc_start. The four test files of this PR pass on it. The three possible orders for the two PRs are in this comment.

What the fix is, and what follows from it. The bug is that parser.rs:526 moves the parser's origin after the renderers are built. The lines that fix it are Parser::process_fenced_code (src/md/render_blocks.rs) and its call in process_all_blocks (src/md/containers.rs). The other changes follow: a renderer that gets the language from the parser has no use for its copy of the text. The copies of the scan never differed, so "one scan in place of three" is not the reason.

Not changed. bun fmt's Builder (src/format/markdown/parse.rs) wants source, so it still gets enter_block(Code, offset, flags). It adds its own base to each offset, and that is correct. ImageUrlCollector does not override the new events and does not need the language.

A renderer that does not override the events sees a fenced block as Code with data 0 and flags 0: no language, no offset.

Damage. A wrong language string, and a meta for a bare fence ("~~~") where bun.d.ts says there is none. ansi() and bun file.md lose the highlighting. A code callback that gives the string to a highlighter that refuses unknown languages throws: with highlight.js 11.11.1, Bun.markdown.render() on main throws Unknown language: "~~~js". fs.readFileSync, a Buffer and bun file.md keep the mark. await Bun.file(p).text() drops it.

Not fixed here. For an info string with a backslash escape or an entity (foo\+bar, föö), html() writes the resolved word and render(), react() and ansi() give it as written. The same holds for link and image destinations and titles. It is the same on main, with or without a mark. It changes output for documents without a mark, so it is not in this PR.

Work in flight.

Tests.

  • test/js/bun/md/md-edge-cases.test.ts, a byte order mark before the document: for every example of the spec corpus, html(), render() with every callback, react() and ansi() give for mark + document what they give for the document. On main 37 of the 766 examples differ in render(), react() and ansi(), and none in html(). Also: fence shapes as string and as Buffer, two marks, and a callback getter that writes the mark into a Buffer input.
  • md-render-callback.test.ts, md-react.test.ts: the language with a mark, no meta and no language prop for a bare fence, both reactVersion values, a pre component.
  • test/cli/run/markdown-entrypoint.test.ts: bun ./doc.md of a file with a mark prints what the file without it prints.
  • md-edge-cases.test.ts, render() of ...: a code or text callback that throws in a fenced block. These pass on main. They are there because fenced code left the path that the one existing throw test covers.
  • Each of the four overrides has a test without a mark that fails if the override is removed (checked by removing all four).
  • Also run: test/cli/lint/explain.test.ts, test/cli/format/format.test.ts (the Markdown tests pass, and the failures are 5 s timeouts of config tests on the debug build here), test/internal/source-lints/, cargo clippy -p bun_md -p bun_runtime.

Measurements. Two release builds (bun scripts/build.ts --profile=release): main ff8ad61 and this PR. Instructions are instructions:u from perf_event_open, one call per process, the slope between two document sizes, BUN_JSC_useJIT=0, the minimum of 5 to 10 runs. The lines for scans, the harness, allocations and wall clock are from the same code on main 5f5799e.

  • Instructions per block, fence-free document, PR minus main (noise floor 0.8 for html and ansi, 2.8 for react and render):
    • paragraph: html -8.4, ansi -12.1, react -15.9, render -9.6
    • list item: html -11.1, ansi -15.4, react -14.1, render -13.4
    • table row: html -2.3, ansi -20.7, react -26.8, render -13.4
  • Instructions per fenced block, PR minus main (noise floor 2.2):
    • with a language: html -273, ansi -306, react -160, render with code -57, render without code -28
    • bare: html -169, ansi -381, react -68, render with code -40, render without code -28
  • Language scans per fenced block, with main in parentheses: html 1 (1), ansi 1 (1), react 1 (2), render with code 1 (1), render without code 0 (0), bun doc.md with the image pre-scan 1 (1)
  • The md crate alone in a harness, PR minus main, instructions per unit:
    • ThinLTO, as release builds link: paragraph -8.0, list item -11.0, table row -2.0, a fenced block for a renderer that ignores the language 0.0
    • fat LTO, which no build of bun uses: paragraph 0.0, list item +4.9, table row 0.0, that fenced block +4.0
  • Release binary (llvm-size-23): file +4,096 bytes, .text +3,328, .rodata +0, .data.rel.ro +0. RendererImpl vtables: five found at 120 -> 136 bytes, +96 bytes for the six by count.
  • size_of, main -> PR: ParseStackEntry 48 -> 48, CallbackStackEntry 72 -> 72, BlockHeader 16 -> 16, Parser 1288 -> 1288, HtmlRenderer 160 -> 144, AnsiRenderer 376 -> 344, ParseRenderer 368 -> 352, JsCallbackRenderer 320 -> 304
  • Native allocations (calls of the mimalloc entry points, counted in gdb), PR minus main: 0 per call and 0 per fenced block for html, ansi, react and render
  • Wall clock, a loop over the documents of bench/snippets/markdown.mjs, 10 interleaved runs, medians: largest delta -2.1%, noise floor 7.5%, so none seen

Three choices that come from these numbers.

  • ParseRenderer::leave_block_impl is #[inline(always)]. It has two callers now. Without the attribute LLVM calls it, and react() pays about 15 instructions for every block (+34 per table row against main).
  • process_fenced_code has no #[inline(never)]. With the release link (ThinLTO) the attribute changes nothing for other blocks and costs 28 instructions per fenced block.
  • FencedCode::language() is a byte loop, as the scan was before. strings::index_of_any costs 44 more instructions per scan for javascript, 92 for js and about 100 for a bare fence. With it three cases are slower than main, per fenced block: react() on a bare fence +25, render() with code on js +39 and on a bare fence +57. With the loop no case is.

Other designs.

  • Strip the mark in each caller or in each renderer's init: the renderers still slice their own text, the mark is looked for twice per call, and a callback getter runs between the two.
  • A language argument on enter_block and leave_block: every block event of every document carries it.
  • Add the skipped length to the fence offset in the parser: about 10 lines, but the parser's block header then holds an offset into a text that the parser does not have.

Walkthrough

Fenced-code language information now flows through dedicated parser callbacks to HTML, ANSI, and JavaScript renderers. The renderers no longer scan stored source text for the language. Tests cover language metadata, callback behavior, and BOM-prefixed Markdown.

Changes

Fenced-code metadata delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fenced-code callback contract and dispatch
src/md/types.rs, src/md/root.rs, src/md/render_blocks.rs, src/md/containers.rs		 FencedCode provides the first language token from a fenced-code info string. The parser dispatches dedicated fenced-code callbacks, and the public exports include FencedCode instead of BLOCK_FENCED_CODE.
HTML and ANSI language rendering
src/md/html_renderer.rs, src/md/ansi_renderer.rs, src/md/parser.rs		 HTML and ANSI renderers receive language through fenced-code callbacks. They no longer retain source text or derive language from block flags. HTML emits an escaped language class when present; ANSI uses the language for its badge and JavaScript highlighting selection.
JavaScript renderer language delivery
src/runtime/api/MarkdownObject.rs		 ParseRenderer adds a language prop for nonempty fenced-code languages. JsCallbackRenderer sends language metadata through its dedicated fenced-code callback path.
Language delivery and BOM regression tests
test/cli/run/markdown-entrypoint.test.ts, test/js/bun/md/*		 Tests cover BOM-prefixed inputs, language metadata across renderers and input forms, callback error ordering, and repeated BOM behavior.

Status

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3 and on main (debug and release builds) with this script:

const text = "\uFEFF# Title\n\n~~~js\nlet a = 1;\n~~~\n\n~~~\nplain\n~~~\n";
Bun.markdown.render(text, { code: (children, meta) => (console.log(meta?.language), children) });
// main: "~~~js", then "~~~"
// this PR: "js", then undefined

Bun.markdown.react(), Bun.markdown.ansi() and bun ./doc.md show the same wrong language on main. Bun.markdown.html() is correct.

PR: #45508

State: rebased on main (b1007f1), head 2751c7e936. #47980 (front matter) fixes the same bug with a start offset in the parser. The order of the two PRs is a maintainer's choice: see this comment.

CI on 2751c7e936 (build #137797): the red tests are test/aot/* and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. They are red on main at the same commit too (build #137645), and this PR does not touch them. No Markdown test fails.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that the new non-tracking dispatch in process_all_blocks matches the old path (same image_nesting_level gating as enter_block/leave_block, same enter / process_code_block / leave order, BLOCK_FENCED_CODE only ever set on Code blocks in blocks.rs), that the track path used by bun fmt's Builder is untouched, and that JsCallbackRenderer::leave_fenced_code_impl is the old Code arm of leave_block_impl with nothing dropped. The remaining RendererImpl implementor (ImageUrlCollector) does not read the deleted flags/src_text state.

Extended reasoning...

The PR changes the RendererImpl trait contract in src/md/types.rs (two new defaulted events plus a FencedCode type) and reroutes fenced code through Parser::process_fenced_code for non-tracking consumers, with the html, ansi, render and react renderers dropping their src_text copies. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The one inline finding concerns escape/entity handling in the language string that the PR description itself lists as pre-existing and unchanged; the refactor otherwise diffed as behavior-preserving on the paths I traced. A human should still weigh the trait-shape question the author raises in the description.

I reviewed the latest push and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes the RendererImpl trait and the PR itself asks the maintainer to choose between the event shape here and a start-offset alternative, a human look at that design question is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced the fenced-code path old vs new in src/md/containers.rs and src/md/render_blocks.rs: same enter/body/leave order, same image_nesting_level guard as Parser::enter_block, self.track consumers (bun fmt's Builder) still get enter_block(Code, info_beg, flags).
  • Checked every RendererImpl implementor: html, ansi, react and render override the new events; ImageUrlCollector and the fmt Builder fall through to the defaults; create_block_meta keeps a _ => None arm for indented code.
  • FencedCode::language scans the same stop set (is_blank/is_newline) as the three deleted extract_language copies, and info_beg <= line.end so the slice in process_fenced_code cannot go out of bounds.
  • Confirmed nothing outside src/md still reads the removed root::BLOCK_FENCED_CODE re-export, src_text, or the stack entries' flags.
Extended reasoning...

The change replaces an offset-into-source handoff of fenced-code info strings with two new defaulted RendererImpl events carrying a FencedCode borrowed from the parser's BOM-stripped text, and removes the per-renderer source copies and language scanners in src/md/ansi_renderer.rs, src/md/html_renderer.rs and src/runtime/api/MarkdownObject.rs. It touches no security-sensitive surface: no auth, injection or data exposure paths, and the JS-entering calls keep their JsResult propagation. The refactor reads as behavior-preserving for every implementor and the tests cover the mark across all four renderers plus the CLI entrypoint. Deferral rather than approval is because the PR modifies a shared parser trait and explicitly leaves a design choice (events vs. start offset) to the maintainer, which an automated review should not settle.

A related change depends on the question in Notes: U+0000 (CommonMark 2.3).

What is wrong on main. Bun.markdown writes a NUL as it is in code blocks, HTML blocks, code spans, link titles and fence info strings. CommonMark 2.3 requires U+FFFD. Bun.markdown.html("```\na\0b\n```\n") gives <pre><code>a\0b\n</code></pre>\n: the NUL is still there. The parser replaces it only in paragraph text (src/md/inlines.rs:673). Upstream md4c also replaces it in code blocks, HTML blocks and attributes (md_process_verbatim_block_contents, md_build_attribute). The port left that out. No issue exists. A review of #45611 found it.

Why it is here. A fix with tests is on the branch robobun/67787969/md-verbatim-nul (one commit). I did not open a PR for it, because its shape depends on this PR:

  • With the events of this PR, only the parser reads the text. The replacement can then be one private step in src/md/parser.rs, beside skip_utf8_bom. I have not built that form yet.
  • With the start offset shape, each renderer keeps src_text. Then each entry point must give the renderer and the parser the same replaced copy. The branch does that for main as it is today, at five entry sites and with a public type. As a side effect it gives the right fence language behind a byte order mark. So it should not land before this PR.

Two more questions for the maintainer.

  1. Replace before the parse, or at the renderer? bun fmt replaces before the parse (NormalizedText, src/format/markdown/mod.rs:110). cmark, commonmark.js, markdown-it and micromark do the same. md4c replaces when it writes. The branch replaces before the parse. For a document with a NUL, that also changes results outside code:

    • a*\0b* is no emphasis.
    • [x](a\0b) is a link.
    • The text callback gets a\uFFFDb as one string.

    A replacement at the renderer keeps those as they are on main.

  2. With either design, a NUL in a fence info string reaches meta.language as U+FFFD. @zaly/tui writes U+0000 in place of the spaces of each info string (packages/tui/src/markdown/utils.ts in folke/zaly). It reads the whole info string back from meta.language, because meta has no other field for it. It would then have to accept U+FFFD.

I send the NUL change after the decision here.

md: the parser gives fenced code to the renderer with its info string
44237ba 
A document that starts with a byte order mark got the fence as the
language of every fenced code block from Bun.markdown.render(), react(),
ansi() and `bun file.md`. The parser skips the mark, and these renderers
read the language at the parser's offset in their own copy of the text,
which still had the mark.

The parser now reports a fenced code block with enter_fenced_code and
leave_fenced_code, which carry the info string. No renderer keeps the
source text.

#47980 (front matter) now has the second shape from the Notes of this PR. Its parser keeps the caller's whole text and starts behind the byte order mark and the front matter (Parser::doc_start). So it also fixes the bug of this PR. I checked that on its head 34e5088: the script in the status comment prints js, and the four test files of this PR pass there (393 tests).

Both PRs are open, so the order is a maintainer's choice (@Jarred-Sumner, @dylan-conway). One word is enough:

  1. offset: the start offset is the fix. markdown: skip front matter from the parser start, and add Bun.markdown.frontmatter() #47980 lands as it is. This PR closes, or I cut it down to the refactor that takes src_text out of the renderers, without the bug claim. The events work on top of doc_start.
  2. events: this PR lands first. markdown: skip front matter from the parser start, and add Bun.markdown.frontmatter() #47980 then drops Parser::doc_start and slices the text beside the mark skip.
  3. split: the parser start is its own PR. I push the start offset hunks of markdown: skip front matter from the parser start, and add Bun.markdown.frontmatter() #47980 here (src/md/parser.rs, src/md/blocks.rs, src/md/helpers.rs, about 25 changed lines) with the tests of this PR, and markdown: skip front matter from the parser start, and add Bun.markdown.frontmatter() #47980 rebases on it.

Two other changes wait for the same answer:

This PR is rebased on main (b1007f1). It had one conflict, in src/runtime/api/MarkdownObject.rs. Nothing else changed, and I change nothing more before the answer.

I re-read the latest push and found no bugs; since the PR changes the RendererImpl trait and leaves the events-vs-start-offset choice open, a maintainer's look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Diffed the old and new fenced-code paths: process_fenced_code keeps the image_nesting_level gating of enter_block/leave_block, and the track (wants_source) path in containers.rs still hands bun fmt's Builder BLOCK_FENCED_CODE with the info offset.
  • Checked all four renderers against their old extract_language scans (same stop set: space, tab, CR, LF); no remaining reader of data as an info-string offset in src/, and FencedCode::new slices at info_beg <= line.end, so it cannot panic.
  • In JsCallbackRenderer, leave_fenced_code_impl mirrors leave_block_impl (stack check, meta built before pop_and_callback, ? on the JS string creation); ParseRenderer reads the language before any JS runs.
Extended reasoning...

The change adds two defaulted RendererImpl methods and a FencedCode type in src/md/types.rs, routes fenced code through a new Parser::process_fenced_code for consumers that do not want source, and removes the per-renderer src_text copies and language scans from the ANSI, HTML, ParseRenderer and JsCallbackRenderer paths, plus tests for documents with a byte order mark. It touches no security-sensitive surface; the JS-facing code copies the language into a JS string before any callback runs. I verified the refactor is behavior-preserving on both the tracking and non-tracking paths and the tests fail on the old code by construction (they compare marked and unmarked documents across all renderers). The reason for defer rather than approve is that it is a trait-level design change in the markdown crate and the author explicitly asks the maintainer to choose between this shape and a start-offset alternative.
