What is this?

This package is a unified (remark) plugin, specifically a remark-lint rule. Lint rules check markdown code style.

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check that heading text is within reason.

Presets

This rule is included in the following presets:
| Preset | Setting | | - | - | | remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide | |

Install

This package is ESM onlyesm. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-maximum-heading-length

In Deno with esm.shesmsh:

In browsers with esm.shesmsh:

Use

On the API:

import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintMaximumHeadingLength from 'remark-lint-maximum-heading-length'

async function main() {
  const file = await remark()

"remarkConfig": {
  "plugins": [
    …
    "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-maximum-heading-length",
    …
  ]
}
…

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is remarkLintMaximumHeadingLength.

unified().use(remarkLintMaximumHeadingLength[, config])

This rule supports standard configuration that all remark lint rules accept (such as false to turn it off or [1, options] to configure it).
The following options (default: 60) are accepted:

• number (example: 72)

— max number of characters to accept in heading text

Ignores syntax, only checks the plain text content.

Recommendation

While this rule is sometimes annoying, reasonable size headings do help SEO purposes (bots prefer reasonable headings), visual users (headings are typically displayed quite large), and users of screen readers (who typically use “jump to heading” features to navigate within a page, which reads every heading out loud).

Examples

ok.md

In

# Alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel

# ![Alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel](http://example.com/nato.png)

Out

No messages.

not-ok.md

When configured with 40.

In

# Alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel

Out

1:1-1:52: Use headings shorter than `40`
