import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'

const file = await read('example.md')
await unified()
.use(remarkParse)

unified().use(remarkLintNoUndefinedReferences[, options])
Warn when undefined definitions are referenced.
Parameters
options
(Options
, optional) — configuration
Returns
Transform (Transformer
from unified
).
Options
Configuration (TypeScript type).
Fields
allow
(Array<RegExp | string>
, optional) — list of values to allow between[
and]
allowShortcutLink
(boolean
, default:false
) — allow shortcut references, which are just brackets such as[text]
Recommendation
Shortcut references use an implicit syntax that could also occur as plain
text.
To illustrate,
it is reasonable to expect an author adding […]
to abbreviate some text
somewhere in a document:
> Some […] quote.
This isn’t a problem, but it might become one when an author later adds a definition:
Some new text […][].
[…]: #read-more
The second author might expect only their newly added text to form a link, but their changes also result in a link for the text by the first author.

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-undefined-references@4
,
compatible with Node.js 12.
