remark-lint VS remark-html

we first looked into Vale but are moving to Remark Lint. Both have VS Code extensions so you can have it prompt you as you work.

I want to just give a shout out to Remark which is a linter for your READMEs which makes so much sense to me. Our code should be of a consistent standard, so why not the READMEs too!

With our dependencies all installed, we can start creating a .remarkrc.js, which will contain all the plugins that will be consumed by the remark processor. For details about alternative or advanced configurations, please refer to Configuring remark-lint.

remark is a powerful and versatile library that will allow us to start working with our markdown .md blog posts. remark-html is a plugin for remark that allows us to serialize our markdown into HTML.

This means that you can transform your HTML with tools like rehype or remark. You can find out more about the available options here.

Since we will be writing our content in Markdown, we will need a way to serialize the markdown into HTML. To do this, we will install the dependencies remark and remark-html.

Remark-react is a package that converts Markdown into React and it works with a Next.js application. It differs from remark-html as it doesn't force the developer to use dangerouslySetInnerHTML.
