markdownlint is a Node.js style checker and linting library for Markdown and CommonMark files. It parses documents with micromark and understands CommonMark together with popular GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax such as autolinks and tables.
Its rules cover common structural and style problems. Configuration can be applied at rule level, related rules can be controlled through tags, and inline comments allow exceptions within individual documents. Custom rules can be added for project-specific checks.
This is free and open source software.
