While not always the case, typically emphasis or strong around the text in a paragraph is used as a “faux” heading. It’s recommended to use actual headings instead.

Examples

`ok.md`

In

# Foo

Bar.

Out

No messages.

`not-ok.md`

In

*Foo*

Bar.

__Qux__

Quux.

Out

1:1-1:6: Don’t use emphasis to introduce a section, use a heading
5:1-5:8: Don’t use emphasis to introduce a section, use a heading

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-lint-no-emphasis-as-heading@3, compatible with Node.js 12.
