ESLint Markdown Language Plugin
Lint JS, JSX, TypeScript, and more inside Markdown.
Usage
Installing
Install the plugin alongside ESLint v9 or greater:
npm install --save-dev eslint @eslint/markdown
Configurations
| Configuration Name | Description |
|---------------|-----------------|
| recommended
| Lints all .md
files with the recommended rules and assumes CommonMark format. |
| processor
| Enables extracting code blocks from all .md
files so code blocks can be individually linted. |
In your eslint.config.js
file, import @eslint/markdown
and include the recommended config to enable the Markdown processor on all .md
files:
// eslint.config.js
import markdown from "@eslint/markdown";
export default [
...markdown.configs.recommended
// your other configs here
];
Rules
| Rule Name | Description | Recommended |
| :- | :- | :-: |
| fenced-code-language
| Require languages for fenced code blocks. | yes |
| heading-increment
| Enforce heading levels increment by one. | yes |
| no-duplicate-headings
| Disallow duplicate headings in the same document. | no |
| no-empty-links
| Disallow empty links. | yes |
| no-html
| Disallow HTML tags. | no |
| no-invalid-label-refs
| Disallow invalid label references. | yes |
| no-missing-label-refs
| Disallow missing label references. | yes |
Note: This plugin does not provide formatting rules. We recommend using a source code formatter such as Prettier for that purpose.
In order to individually configure a rule in your eslint.config.js
file, import @eslint/markdown
and configure each rule with a prefix:
// eslint.config.js
import markdown from "@eslint/markdown";
export default [
{
files: ["**/*.md"],
plugins: {
markdown
},
language: "markdown/commonmark",
rules: {
"markdown/no-html": "error"
}
}
];
You can individually disable rules in Markdown using HTML comments, such as:
<!-- eslint-disable-next-line markdown/no-html -- I want to allow HTML here -->
<custom-element>Hello world!</custom-element>
<!-- eslint-disable markdown/no-html -- here too -->
<another-element>Goodbye world!</another-element>
<!-- eslint-enable markdown/no-html -- safe to re-enable now -->
[Object] <!-- eslint-disable-line markdown/no-missing-label-refs -- not meant to be a link ref -->
Languages
| Language Name | Description |
|---------------|-----------------|
| commonmark
| Parse using CommonMark Markdown format |
| gfm
| Parse using GitHub-Flavored Markdown format |
In order to individually configure a language in your eslint.config.js
file, import @eslint/markdown
and configure a language
:
// eslint.config.js
import markdown from "@eslint/markdown";
export default [
{
files: ["**/*.md"],
plugins: {
markdown
},
language: "markdown/gfm",
rules: {
"markdown/no-html": "error"
}
}
];
Processors
| Processor Name | Description |
|---------------|-----------------|
| markdown
| Extract fenced code blocks from the Markdown code so they can be linted separately. |
Editor Integrations
VSCode
vscode-eslint
has built-in support for the Markdown processor.
Atom
The linter-eslint
package allows for linting within the Atom IDE.
In order to see @eslint/markdown
work its magic within Markdown code blocks in your Atom editor, you can go to linter-eslint
's settings and within "List of scopes to run ESLint on...", add the cursor scope "source.gfm".
However, this reports a problem when viewing Markdown which does not have configuration, so you may wish to use the cursor scope "source.embedded.js", but note that @eslint/markdown
configuration comments and skip directives won't work in this context.
