Warn when empty URLs are used.

There are no options.

Transform (Transformer from unified).

While it is possible to omit URLs in links and images, that typically indicates a “placeholder” or something that has to be filled out later. It’s recommended to fill them out.

[Mercury](http://example.com/mercury/).

![Venus](http://example.com/venus/ "Go to Venus").

[earth]: http://example.com/earth/

No messages.

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-empty-url@3, compatible with Node.js 12.
