You can use this package to check that definitions are consistently at the end of the document.

This plugin is included in the following presets:

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-final-definition

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkLintFinalDefinition from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-final-definition@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintFinalDefinition from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-final-definition@4?bundle'
</script>

On the API:

import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintFinalDefinition from 'remark-lint-final-definition'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await read('example.md')

await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkLint)
  .use(remarkLintFinalDefinition)
  .use(remarkStringify)
  .process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))

On the CLI:

remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-final-definition .

On the CLI in a config file (here a package.json):

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-final-definition",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScript types. The default export is remarkLintFinalDefinition.

Warn when definitions are used in the document instead of at the end.

There are no options.

Transform (Transformer from unified).

There are different strategies for placing definitions. The simplest is perhaps to place them all at the bottem of documents. If you prefer that, turn on this rule.
