My remark preset, for keeping Markdown documentation tidy.
Validation:
- Links within the repository (to headings, other files, headings in other files) are validated.
- A table of contents will be generated if you include a
Table of contents
header in a document.
Syntax — most of which is automatically fixed:
- Unordered list items marked with
-
. - List items indented only one space beyond the marker.
- Emphasis and strong are both indicated with
*
. - Code blocks are fenced with triple backticks.

-style headings, the ones that (just) start with #
signs, e.g. ## Second-level heading
.- Other stuff that should be intuitive or prevent mistakes.
Usage
Usage with remark-cli.
Here's the way I like to use it, which does the following:
- Checks Markdown files in the project root and
docs/
directory. - Automatically formats files, overwriting them (
--output
). - Breaks tests if linting errors are found (
--frail
). - Only outputs warnings and errors (
--quiet
and --no-stdout
).
