remark-lint-no-shortcut-reference-link

Warn when shortcut reference links are used.

Shortcut references render as links when a definition is found, and as plain text without definition. Sometimes, you don’t intend to create a link from the reference, but this rule still warns anyway. In that case, you can escape the reference like so: \[foo].

Presets

This rule is included in the following presets:

Preset	Setting
remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide
remark-preset-lint-recommended

Example

ok.md

In

[foo][]

[foo]: http://foo.bar/baz

Out

No messages.

not-ok.md

In

[foo]

[foo]: http://foo.bar/baz

Out

1:1-1:6: Use the trailing `[]` on reference links

Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be importeded instead of requiredd.

npm:

npm install remark-lint-no-shortcut-reference-link

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

Use

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

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "lint",
+    "lint-no-shortcut-reference-link",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

Or use it on the CLI directly

remark -u lint -u lint-no-shortcut-reference-link readme.md

Or use this on the API:

 import {remark} from 'remark'
 import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
 import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
 import remarkLintNoShortcutReferenceLink from 'remark-lint-no-shortcut-reference-link'

 remark()
   .use(remarkLint)
+  .use(remarkLintNoShortcutReferenceLink)
   .process('_Emphasis_ and **importance**')
   .then((file) => {
     console.error(reporter(file))
   })
