remark-lint is a collection of remark plugins for checking Markdown code style. It is built on the unified ecosystem and works with Markdown as structured data through the mdast abstract syntax tree.
Each lint rule is supplied as a separate plugin, allowing projects to assemble the checks they need. The repository contains around 70 lint plugins together with presets that combine rules into ready-made configurations.
Checks can be run from the command line or JavaScript API and mixed with other remark plugins for processing Markdown.
This is free and open source software.
