## API

This package exports no identifiers.
It exports no additional [TypeScript][typescript] types.
The default export is
[`remarkLintNoBlockquoteWithoutMarker`][api-remark-lint-no-blockquote-without-marker].

### `unified().use(remarkLintNoBlockquoteWithoutMarker)`

Warn for lazy lines in block quotes.

###### Parameters

There are no options.

###### Returns

Transform ([`Transformer` from `unified`][github-unified-transformer]).

## Recommendation

Rules around lazy lines are not straightforward and visually confusing,
so it’s recommended to start each line with a `>`.

## Fix

[`remark-stringify`][github-remark-stringify] adds `>` markers to every line
in a block quote.

## Examples

##### `ok.md`

###### In

```markdown
> Mercury,
> Venus,
> and Earth.

Mars.
```

###### Out

No messages.

##### `ok-tabs.md`

###### In

```markdown
>␉Mercury,
>␉Venus,
>␉and Earth.
```

###### Out

No messages.

##### `not-ok.md`

###### In

```markdown
> Mercury,
Venus,
> and Earth.
```

###### Out

```text
2:1: Unexpected `0` block quote markers before paragraph line, expected `1` marker, add `1` marker
```

##### `not-ok-tabs.md`

###### In

```markdown
>␉Mercury,
␉Venus,
and Earth.
```

###### Out

```text
2:2: Unexpected `0` block quote markers before paragraph line, expected `1` marker, add `1` marker
3:1: Unexpected `0` block quote markers before paragraph line, expected `1` marker, add `1` marker
```

##### `containers.md`

###### In

```markdown
* > Mercury and
Venus.

> * Mercury and
  Venus.

* > * Mercury and
    Venus.

> * > Mercury and
      Venus.

***

> * > Mercury and
>     Venus.
```

###### Out

```text
2:1: Unexpected `0` block quote markers before paragraph line, expected `1` marker, add `1` marker
5:3: Unexpected `0` block quote markers before paragraph line, expected `1` marker, add `1` marker

## 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-blockquote-without-marker@6`,
compatible with Node.js 16.
