📜 About

markdownlint-rule-relative-links is a markdownlint custom rule to validate relative links.

It ensures that relative links (using file: protocol) are working and not "dead" which means that it exists in the file system of the project that uses markdownlint.

Example

File structure:

├── abc.txt
└── awesome.md

With awesome.md content:

[abc](./abc.txt)

[Dead link](./dead.txt)

Running markdownlint-cli2 with markdownlint-rule-relative-links will output:

awesome.md:3 relative-links Relative links should be valid [Link "./dead.txt" is dead]

Prerequisites

Installation

npm install --save-dev markdownlint-rule-relative-links

Configuration

There are various ways markdownlint can be configured using objects, config files etc. For more information on configuration refer to options.config.

We recommend configuring markdownlint-cli2 over markdownlint-cli for compatibility with the vscode-markdownlint extension.

.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc

{
  "config": {
    "default": true,
    "relative-links": true
  },
  "globs": ["**/*.{md,mdx}"],
  "ignores": ["**/node_modules"],
  "customRules": ["markdownlint-rule-relative-links"]
}

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint:markdown": "markdownlint-cli2"
  }
}

Usage

npm run lint:markdown
