What is this?

`

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

`js

`

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

Use

On the API:

`js
import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintTablePipes from 'remark-lint-table-pipes'
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(remarkLintTablePipes)
.use(remarkStringify)
.process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))
`

On the CLI:

`sh
remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-table-pipes .
`

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

`diff

…
`

API

$3

Warn when GFM table rows have no initial or final cell delimiter.

###### Parameters

There are no options.

###### Returns

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

Recommendation

While tables don’t require initial or final delimiters (the pipes before the
first and after the last cells in a row),
it arguably does look weird without.

Fix

[remark-stringify][github-remark-stringify] with
[remark-gfm][github-remark-gfm] formats all tables with initial and final
delimiters.

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-table-pipes@5,
compatible with Node.js 16.
