Since lesshint is highly customizable we recommend you to also take a look at the available rule options to tailor it to your needs.

Complementary tools

Linters

In addition to the linters included with lesshint, it's also possible to include custom ones. For example to check something team or project specific.

For more information on using custom linters, see the user guide.

Reporters

Reporters are small modules that can be used to perform actions with the lint results, for example printing something to the terminal or generate custom reports.

For more information on using reporters, see the user guide.
