remark-lint rule to warn when GFM table cells are padded inconsistently.
Contents
What is this?
This package checks table cell padding. Tables are a GFM feature enabled with remark-gfm.
When should I use this?
You can use this package to check that tables are consistent.
Presets
This plugin is included in the following presets:
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install remark-lint-table-cell-padding
In Deno with esm.sh:
import remarkLintTableCellPadding from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-table-cell-padding@5'
In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import remarkLintTableCellPadding from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-table-cell-padding@5?bundle'
</script>
Use
On the API:
import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintTableCellPadding from 'remark-lint-table-cell-padding'
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(remarkLintTableCellPadding)
.use(remarkStringify)
.process(file)
console.error(reporter(file))
On the CLI:
remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-table-cell-padding .
On the CLI in a config file (here a package.json):
…
"remarkConfig": {
"plugins": [
…
"remark-lint",
+ "remark-lint-table-cell-padding",
…
]
}
…
API
This package exports no identifiers. It exports the TypeScript types Options and Style. The default export is remarkLintTableCellPadding.
Warn when GFM table cells are padded inconsistently.
Parameters
options (Options, optional) — preferred style or whether to detect the first style and warn for further differences
Returns
Transform (Transformer from unified).
Style
Style (TypeScript type).
'compact' — prefer zero spaces between pipes and content'padded' — prefer at least one space between pipes and content
Type
type Style = 'compact' | 'padded'
Options
Configuration (TypeScript type).
Type
type Options = Style | 'consistent'
Recommendation
It’s recommended to use at least one space between pipes and content for legibility of the markup ('padded').
Fix
remark-stringify with remark-gfm formats all table cells as padded by default. Pass tableCellPadding: false to use a more compact style.

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-table-cell-padding@5, compatible with Node.js 16.
