What is this?

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check that the style of GFM tasklists is a single space.

Presets

This plugin is not included in presets maintained here.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

On the API:

import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent from 'remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await read('example.md')

await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkLint)
  .use(remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent)
  .use(remarkStringify)
  .process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))

On the CLI:

remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent .

On the CLI in a config file (here a package.json):

 …

   "plugins": [
     …
     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScript types. The default export is remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent.

unified().use(remarkLintCheckboxContentIndent)

Warn when GFM tasklist checkboxes are followed by more than one space.

Parameters

There are no options.

Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Recommendation

GFM allows zero or more spaces and tabs after checkboxes. No space at all arguably looks rather ugly:

* [x]Pluto

More that one space is superfluous:

* [x]   Jupiter

Due to this, it’s recommended to turn this rule on.

Fix

remark-stringify formats checkboxes and the content after them with a single space between.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-lint-checkbox-content-indent@5, compatible with Node.js 16.
