Options passed via unified-engine are not working

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Affected packages and versions

remark-rehype: 11.0.0; unified-engine: 11.2.0

Steps to reproduce

(I'm running Node 21.2.0 & Yarn 4.0.2, but the sandbox is running 20.9.0 & Yarn 1.22.19 and shows the same issue).

Please use the sandbox linked above.
The markdown input is in in.md.
Run yarn example1 in the sandbox terminal. The code being executed is in example1.js.
The output is written to out1.html.

Since allowDangerousHtml: true is passed to both remark-rehype and rehype-stringify, the raw html in the markdown should appear in the resulting HTML. However, the options are not being handled properly by remark-rehype. This issue is specific to using unified-engine, because it passes an additional parameter with a FileSet to all plugins (https://github.com/unifiedjs/unified-engine/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#fileset). This is normally ignored, but remark-rehype has two optional parameters destination and options, so the options are assigned to destination and the FileSet is assigned to options. As a result, line 151 in remark-rehype/lib/index.js ignores the actual options (which are in destination):

return /** @type {HastRoot} */ (toHast(tree, options || destination))

A workaround is shown by yarn example2. The code being executed is in example2.js, and the output is written to out2.html.
The key to the workaround is that I've wrapped remark-rehype in a function call that reassigns the parameters:

(options, fileSet) => { return remarkRehype({}, options, fileSet); }

This works because now the empty object gets assigned to destination and the options get assigned to options. This workaround helps to confirm that the issue is with how options are handled by the combination of unified-engine and remark-rehype.

Expected behavior

In out1.html, the raw HTML from in.md should be included:

<h1>Header 1</h1>
<p>Paragraph 1.</p>
<div>Raw HTML</div>
<h2>Header 2</h2>
<p>Paragraph 2.</p>

Actual behavior

In out1.html, the raw HTML from in.md is not included:

<h1>Header 1</h1>
<p>Paragraph 1.</p>
<h2>Header 2</h2>
<p>Paragraph 2.</p>

Hey!

Ah, right. It could be interesting to see if the previous majors of those plugins had the same problem or not. They had more handling around the parameters.

I’d say for a solution there also needs to be better handling in this project, remark-rehype, around a given file set

Solved in 11.1.1!
