• This rule is available as an npm package and can be installed using
  • npm install --save-dev textlint-rule-no-dead-image-link or
  • yarn add --dev textlint-rule-no-dead-image-link and then yarn install

Usage

If you are unfamiliar with textlint then refer to configuring textlint for textlint configuration details.

Add one of the following to .textlintrc file

• without any options

{
    "rules": {
        "no-dead-image-link": true
    }
}

or

• with options

{
    "rules": {
        "no-dead-image-link": {
            "image-base-path": "../docs"
        }
    }
}

Via CLI

textlint --rule no-dead-image-link README.md

Option

image-base-path

This option takes a string input that represents the base path for all the image url's that are relative. If the value of this option itself is relative, then it is considered to be relative to the location of textlint configuration file (i.e. .textlintrc).
