Warn when headings are indented.

There are no options.

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Recommendation

There is no specific handling of indented headings (or anything else) in markdown. While it is possible to use an indent to headings on their text:

   # One
  ## Two
 ### Three
#### Four

…such style is uncommon, a bit hard to maintain, and it’s impossible to add a heading with a rank of 5 as it would form indented code instead. Hence, it’s recommended to not indent headings and to turn this rule on.

Fix

remark-stringify formats headings without indent.

Examples

ok.md
In
#␠Hello world

Foo
-----

#␠Hello world␠#

Bar
=====
Out

No messages.

not-ok.md
In
␠␠␠# Hello world

␠Foo
-----

␠# Hello world #

␠␠␠Bar
=====
Out
1:4: Remove 3 spaces before this heading
3:2: Remove 1 space before this heading
6:2: Remove 1 space before this heading
8:4: Remove 3 spaces before this 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-heading-indent@4, compatible with Node.js 12.
