remark-lint rule to warn when block quotes are indented too much or too little.

Contents

What is this?

This package checks the “indent” of block quotes: the > (greater than) marker and the spaces before content.

When should I use this?

You can use this rule to check markdown code style.

  import remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-blockquote-indentation@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

On the API:

import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation from 'remark-lint-blockquote-indentation'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await read('example.md')

await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkLint)

  .use(remarkStringify)
  .process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))

On the CLI:

remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-blockquote-indentation .

On the CLI in a config file (here a package.json):

 …

     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-blockquote-indentation",
     …
   ]
 }

API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports the TypeScript type Options. The default export is remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation.

unified().use(remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation[, options])

Warn when block quotes are indented too much or too little.

Parameters
Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Options

Configuration (TypeScript type).

Type
type Options = number | 'consistent'

Recommendation

CommonMark specifies that when block quotes are used the > markers can be followed by an optional space. No space at all arguably looks rather ugly:

>Mars and
>Venus.

There is no specific handling of more that one space, so if 5 spaces were used after >, then indented code kicks in:

>     neptune()

Due to this, it’s recommended to configure this rule with 2.

Examples

ok.md

When configured with 4.

In
>   Hello

Paragraph.

>   World
Out

No messages.

ok.md

When configured with 2.

In
> Hello

Paragraph.

> World
Out

No messages.

not-ok.md
In
>  Hello

Paragraph.

>   World

Paragraph.

> World
Out
5:5: Remove 1 space between block quote and content
9:3: Add 1 space between block quote and content

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-blockquote-indentation@3, compatible with Node.js 12.
