htmllint-cli

library0.0.7jsnpmunverified

Command-line interface for htmllint, an HTML linter. Version 0.0.7 (as of last release). This package provides a CLI tool to lint HTML files against configurable rules via a .htmllintrc file. It is a thin wrapper around the htmllint library, with basic glob support and an init command. Development appears inactive (last updated long ago), and it requires Node >=4. Compared to alternatives like HTMLHint, this package has limited features and no recent updates.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default export

✓ import htmllint from 'htmllint'

✗ const htmllint = require('htmllint')

Use ESM import; CommonJS require may also work but ESM is preferred.

Global install, initialize config, lint a single HTML file.

npm install -g htmllint-cli cd my-project htmllint init # edit .htmllintrc as needed htmllint index.html

htmllint --version
