API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScript types. The default export is remarkLintMaximumLineLength.

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

Warn when lines are too long.

Nodes that cannot be wrapped are ignored, such as JSX, HTML, code (flow), definitions, headings, and tables.

When code (phrasing), images, and links start before the wrap, end after the wrap, and contain no whitespace, they are also ignored.

Parameters

• options (number, default: 80) — preferred max size

Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Recommendation

Whether to wrap prose or not is a stylistic choice.

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, remark-lint-maximum-line-length@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
