What is this?

This package checks the style of link (and image and definition) title markers.

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check that the style of link title markers is consistent.

This plugin is included in the following presets:

Preset	Options
remark-preset-lint-consistent	'consistent'
remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide	'"'

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-link-title-style

In Deno with esm.sh:

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintLinkTitleStyle from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-link-title-style@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

On the API:

import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintLinkTitleStyle from 'remark-lint-link-title-style'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await read('example.md')

await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkLint)

Style

Recommendation

Before CommonMark, parens for titles were not supported in markdown. They should now work in most places. Parens do look a bit weird as they’re inside more parens: [text](url (title)).

In HTML, attributes are commonly written with double quotes. Due to this, titles are almost exclusively wrapped in double quotes in markdown, so it’s recommended to configure this rule with '"'.

Fix

remark-stringify formats titles with double quotes by default. Pass quote: "'" to use single quotes. There is no option to use parens.

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-link-title-style@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
