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 the “indent” of block quotes is consistent. Indent here is the > (greater than) marker and the spaces before content.

Presets

This rule is included in the following presets:

Preset	Setting
remark-preset-lint-consistent	'consistent'
remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide	2

Install

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

npm install remark-lint-blockquote-indentation

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-blockquote-indentation@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-blockquote-indentation@3?bundle'
</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 remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation from 'remark-lint-blockquote-indentation'

main()

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

  console.error(reporter(file))
}

On the CLI:

remark --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-blockquote-indentation example.md

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

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-blockquote-indentation",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

API

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

unified().use(remarkLintBlockquoteIndentation[, 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: 'consistent') are accepted:

• number (example: 2) — preferred indent of > and spaces before content
• 'consistent' — detect the first used style and warn when further block quotes differ

Recommendation

CommonMark specifies that when block quotes are used the > markers can be followed by an optional space. No space at all arguably looks rather ugly:

>Mars and
>Venus.

There is no specific handling of more that one space, so if 5 spaces were used after >, then indented code kicks in:

>     neptune()

Due to this, it’s recommended to configure this rule with 2.

Examples

ok.md

When configured with 4.

In

>   Hello

Paragraph.

>   World

Out

No messages.

ok.md

When configured with 2.

In

> Hello

Paragraph.

> World

Out

No messages.

not-ok.md

In

>  Hello

Paragraph.

>   World

Paragraph.

> World

Out

5:5: Remove 1 space between block quote and content
9:3: Add 1 space between block quote and content
