remark-lint-checkbox-character-style

remark-lint-checkbox-character-style

Warn when list item checkboxes violate a given style.

Options: Object or 'consistent', default: 'consistent'.

'consistent' detects the first used checked and unchecked checkbox styles and warns when subsequent checkboxes use different styles.

Styles can also be passed in like so:

{checked: 'x', unchecked: ' '}

Fix

remark-stringify formats checked checkboxes using x (lowercase X) and unchecked checkboxes as · (a single space).

See Using remark to fix your Markdown on how to automatically fix warnings for this rule.

Use

You probably want to use it on the CLI through a config file:

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "lint",
+    "lint-checkbox-character-style",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

Or use it on the CLI directly

remark -u lint -u lint-checkbox-character-style readme.md

Or use this on the API:

 var remark = require('remark')
 var report = require('vfile-reporter')

 remark()
   .use(require('remark-lint'))
+  .use(require('remark-lint-checkbox-character-style'))
   .process('_Emphasis_ and **importance**', function (err, file) {
     console.error(report(err || file))
   })
