Warn when emphasis or strong are used instead of a heading.

Recommendation

While not always the case, typically emphasis or strong around the text in a paragraph is used as a “faux” heading. It’s recommended to use actual headings instead.

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-no-emphasis-as-heading@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
