remark-lint-table-pipe-alignment

Warn when table pipes are not aligned.

Fix

remark-stringify tries to align tables by default. Pass paddedTable: false to not align cells.

Aligning cells perfectly is impossible as some characters (such as emoji or Chinese characters) are rendered differently in different browsers, terminals, and editors. You can pass your own stringLength function to customize how cells are aligned. In that case, this rule must be turned off.

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-table-pipe-alignment",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

Or use it on the CLI directly

remark -u lint -u lint-table-pipe-alignment 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-table-pipe-alignment'))
   .process('_Emphasis_ and **importance**', function (err, file) {
     console.error(report(err || file))
   })
