API

Warn when GFM table rows have no initial or final cell delimiter.
Parameters
There are no options.
Returns
Transform (Transformer from unified).
Recommendation
While tables don’t require initial or final delimiters (the pipes before the first and after the last cells in a row), it arguably does look weird without.
Fix
remark-stringify with remark-gfm formats all tables with initial and final delimiters.

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-pipes@5, compatible with Node.js 16.
