Type: boolean | LintRules Default: true

Controls ReSpec's built-in linter. When enabled, the linter checks the document for common mistakes and best practice violations, showing warnings in the document header.

var respecConfig = {
  // lint: true is the default — no need to set it explicitly
};

var respecConfig = {
  lint: false,
};

var respecConfig = {
  lint: {
    "no-http-props": false,       // disable (was on by default)
    "no-unused-dfns": true,       // enable (was off by default)
    "check-punctuation": "warn",  // warn instead of error
  },
};

Use data-lint-ignore to suppress a specific warning on an element:

<table data-lint-ignore="no-captionless-tables">
  <tr><td>data</td></tr>
</table>

• Rule severity can be true (error), "warn" (warning), or false (disabled)
• Linting errors appear as red banners in the document header; warnings appear as yellow
