API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScripttypescript types. The default export is remarkLintMaximumHeadingLengthapi-remark-lint-maximum-heading-length.

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

Warn when headings are too long.

Parameters

• options (number, default: 60)

— preferred max size

Returns

Transform (Transformer from unifiedgithub-unified-transformer).

Recommendation

While this rule is sometimes annoying, reasonable size headings do help SEO purposes (bots prefer reasonable headings), visual users (headings are typically displayed quite large), and users of screen readers (who use “jump to heading” features that read every heading out loud to navigate within a page).

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-heading-length@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
