ESLint Markdown is the official Markdown language plugin for ESLint. It lets ESLint parse and lint Markdown documents using CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown, bringing Markdown checks into the same configuration used for other project files.
Its rules cover areas such as heading structure, duplicate definitions, empty links and images, label references, link fragments, image alternative text and fenced code blocks. A processor can also extract fenced code blocks so their contents can be linted separately by ESLint.
The plugin also supports YAML, TOML and JSON front matter together with optional math syntax.
This is free and open source software.
