API

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

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

Warn when language flags of fenced code are not used.

Parameters
Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Options

Configuration (TypeScript type).

Fields

Recommendation

While omitting language flags is fine to signal that code is plain text, it could point to a mistake. It’s recommended to instead use a certain flag for plain text (such as txt) and to turn this rule on.

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-fenced-code-flag@3, compatible with Node.js 12.
