remark-preset-lint-retext-english

library2.0.12jsnpmunverified

A remark-lint preset that integrates retext plugins for automated proofreading of English text in Markdown. Current version 2.0.12 (April 2025). It bundles retext-equality, retext-profanities, retext-contractions, retext-diacritics, retext-spell, retext-indefinite-article, retext-repeated-words, retext-sentence-spacing, retext-quotes, and dictionary-en. Key differentiator: opinionated all-in-one setup for catching writing issues like he-she, profanity, contractions, spelling, and repeated words, directly in Markdown processing pipelines. Requires unified and remark-retext as peer dependencies.
