API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports the TypeScript types Options and Styles. The default export is remarkLintCheckboxCharacterStyle.

unified().use(remarkLintCheckboxCharacterStyle[, options])

Warn when list item checkboxes violate a given style.

Parameters
  • options (Options, default: 'consistent') — either preferred values or whether to detect the first styles and warn for further differences
Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Options

Configuration (TypeScript type).

Type
type Options = Styles | 'consistent'

Styles

Styles (TypeScript type).

Fields
  • checked ('X', 'x', or 'consistent', default: 'consistent') — preferred style to use for checked checkboxes
  • unchecked ('␉' (a tab), '␠' (a space), or 'consistent', default: 'consistent') — preferred style to use for unchecked checkboxes

Recommendation

It’s recommended to set options.checked to 'x' (a lowercase X) as it prevents an extra keyboard press and options.unchecked to '␠' (a space) to make all checkboxes align.

Fix

remark-stringify formats checked checkboxes using 'x' (lowercase X) and unchecked checkboxes using '␠' (a space).
