What is this?

This package checks missing blank lines.

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check blank lines.

Presets

This plugin is not included in presets maintained here.

Install

This package is [ESM only][github-gist-esm].
In Node.js (version 16+),
install with [npm][npm-install]:

``sh
npm install remark-lint-no-missing-blank-lines
`

In Deno with [esm.sh][esm-sh]:

`js

`

In browsers with [esm.sh][esm-sh]:

`html

`

Use

On the API:

`js
import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintNoMissingBlankLines from 'remark-lint-no-missing-blank-lines'
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(remarkLintNoMissingBlankLines)
.use(remarkStringify)
.process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))
`

On the CLI:

`sh
remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-no-missing-blank-lines .
`

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

`diff
…
"remarkConfig": {
"plugins": [
…
"remark-lint",
+ "remark-lint-no-missing-blank-lines",
…
]
}
…
`

API

This package exports no identifiers.
It exports the [TypeScript][typescript] type
[Options][api-options].
The default export is
[remarkLintNoMissingBlankLines][api-remark-lint-no-missing-blank-lines].

$3

Warn when blank lines are missing.

###### Parameters

* options ([Options][api-options], optional)
— configuration

###### Returns

Transform ([Transformer from unified][github-unified-transformer]).

$3

Configuration (TypeScript type).

###### Fields

* exceptTightLists (boolean, default: false)
— allow omitting blank lines in list items

Recommendation

Blank lines are required in certain sometimes confusing cases.
So it’s recommended to always use blank lines between blocks.

Fix

[remark-stringify][github-remark-stringify] always uses blank lines
between blocks.
It has a join function to customize such behavior.

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-no-missing-blank-lines@4,
compatible with Node.js 16.
