remark-lint rule to warn when lines are too long.

Contents

What is this?

This package is a unified (remark) plugin, specifically a remark-lint rule. Lint rules check markdown code style.

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check that lines do not exceed a certain size.

Presets

This rule is included in the following presets:

| Preset | Setting | | - | - | | remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide | 80 |

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-maximum-line-length

In Deno with Skypack:

import remarkLintMaximumLineLength from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/remark-lint-maximum-line-length@3?dts'

In browsers with Skypack:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintMaximumLineLength from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/remark-lint-maximum-line-length@3?min'
</script>

Use

On the API:

import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintMaximumLineLength from 'remark-lint-maximum-line-length'

main()

async function main() {
  const file = await remark()
    .use(remarkLint)
    .use(remarkLintMaximumLineLength)
    .process(await read('example.md'))

  console.error(reporter(file))
}

On the CLI:

remark --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-maximum-line-length example.md

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

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-maximum-line-length",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is remarkLintMaximumLineLength.

unified().use(remarkLintMaximumLineLength[, config])

This rule supports standard configuration that all remark lint rules accept (such as false to turn it off or [1, options] to configure it).

The following options (default: 80) are accepted:

  • number (example: 72) — max number of characters to accept in heading text

Ignores nodes that cannot be wrapped, such as headings, tables, code, definitions, HTML, and JSX. Ignores images, links, and code (inline) if they start before the wrap, end after the wrap, and there’s no white space after them.

Recommendation

Whether to wrap prose or not is a stylistic choice.

This line is simply not tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
long.

Just like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis one.

And this one is also very wrong: because the link starts aaaaaaafter the column: <http://line.com>

<http://this-long-url-with-a-long-domain-is-not-ok.co.uk/a-long-path?query=variables> and such.

And this one is also very wrong: because the code starts aaaaaaafter the column: `alpha.bravo()`

`alphaBravoCharlieDeltaEchoFoxtrotGolfHotelIndiaJuliettKiloLimaMikeNovemberOscar.papa()` and such.

👉 Note: this example uses GFM (remark-gfm).

This line is simply not toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This is also fine: <http://this-long-url-with-a-long-domain.co.uk/a-long-path?query=variables>

<http://this-link-is-fine.com>

`alphaBravoCharlieDeltaEchoFoxtrotGolfHotelIndiaJuliettKiloLimaMikeNovemberOscarPapaQuebec.romeo()`

<a><b><i><p><q><s><u>alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf</u></s></q></p></i></b></a>

The following is also fine (note the `.`), because there is no whitespace.

<http://this-long-url-with-a-long-domain-is-ok.co.uk/a-long-path?query=variables>.

In addition, definitions are also fine:

[foo]: <http://this-long-url-with-a-long-domain-is-ok.co.uk/a-long-path?query=variables>
