# Development on documentation
## tl;dr
**You will need to use following `npm scripts` before creating a pull request!**
1. `npm install`
2. `npm test`
## Features
* Linting of markdown documents
* Link checking
## Specifications
This repository checks against following specification:
* [Markdown Commonmark](https://spec.commonmark.org/)
## Prerequisites
Install the Node.js 18 Active LTS version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) (which includes npm).
## Installation
For linting and all the checks you need several npm packages. The following command installs all necessary npm dependencies:
```shell
npm install
```
This installs all dependencies into a local `node_modules` folder.
## Checks
To enforce specification conformity there are several checks defined as `npm run-script` targets. To run all checks please execute:
```shell
npm test
```
### Individual checks
If you want to run individual checks see the targets and the description below.
Every individual check can be run like so:
```shell
npm run-script my-individual-check
```
See the [package.json](package.json) file for the currently available scripts.
#### Markdown linter
Markdown linting. See the rules [here](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint).
```shell
npm run-script markdownlint
```
##### Markdown linter overrides
Sometimes it is not possible to be commonmark conform. In these rare cases an inline tag to skip linting is possible.
Candidates are tables.
```html
<!-- markdownlint-disable-->
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
<!-- markdownlint-enable-->
```
Additionally HTML image tags can be allowed globally. This is useful if you need
to resize images, since commonmark has no annotation for this.
This is done with a .markdownlint.json override file which would look something
like this:
```json
{
"no-inline-html": {
"allowed_elements": [
"img",
"table"
]
}
}
```
For more information how to tweak overrides consult the markdown linter
documentation mentioned above.
#### Link resolver
All cross references and external URLs are resolved.
```shell
npm run-script checklinks
```
#### Inconsiderate language scanner
This checks against profanity and inconsiderate language. This is helpful for
non-natives to detect words that could be inconsiderate. This utilizes [alex](https://github.com/get-alex/alex)
```shell
npm run-script detect-inconsiderate-language
```
