What is this?

This package is a [unified][] ([retext][]) plugin to check for words that are
weak: [weasels][wiki-weasels], [hedges][wiki-hedges], and
[fillers][wiki-fillers].

When should I use this?

You can opt-into this plugin when you’re dealing with content that might contain
vague wording, and have authors that can fix that content.

Install

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

``sh
npm install retext-intensify
`

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

`js
import retextIntensify from 'https://esm.sh/retext-intensify@7'
`

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

`html

`

Use

Say our document example.txt contains:

`txt
Some people say there are quite some
problems, apparently.
`

…and our module example.js contains:

`js
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextIntensify from 'retext-intensify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await retext()
.use(retextIntensify)
.process(await read('example.txt'))

console.error(reporter(file))
`

…then running node example.js yields:

`txt
example.txt
1:1-1:5 warning Unexpected weasel (vague or ambiguous) word Some weasel retext-intensify
1:13-1:16 warning Unexpected hedge (uncertain or indecisive) word say hedge retext-intensify
1:27-1:32 warning Unexpected weasel (vague or ambiguous) word quite weasel retext-intensify
1:33-1:37 warning Unexpected weasel (vague or ambiguous) word some weasel retext-intensify
2:11-2:21 warning Unexpected filler (meaningless) word apparently filler retext-intensify

$3

Configuration (TypeScript type).

* ignore (Array, optional)

Messages

Each message is emitted as a [VFileMessage][vfile-message] on file, with
source set to 'retext-intensify', ruleId to 'filler', 'hedge', or
'weasel', actual to the unexpected phrase, and expected to an empty
array.

Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [Options][api-options].

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, retext-intensify@^7,
compatible with Node.js 16.
