excerpt: Clamping and mapping a number to a range are two common and easily confused operations. Learn how to perform each in JavaScript.

MD013 - Line length

Tags: line_length

Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)

This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.

This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.

You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.

Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

## Clamp a number

MD002 - First header should be a top level header

Tags: headers

Aliases: first-header-h1

Parameters: level (number; default 1)

This rule is triggered when the first header in the document isn't a h1 header:

## This isn't a H1 header

### Another header

The first header in the document should be a h1 header:

# Start with a H1 header

## Then use a H2 for subsections

In order to clamp a number, you can use `Math.max()` and `Math.min()` to find the **closest value** within the specified range.

Clamping a number means to restrict it to a certain range. Mapping a number to a range means to convert it from one range to another. Both operations are common in JavaScript and can be easily implemented using simple math.

Mapping a number to a range is a simple **linear transformation**. Provided the original and the target range, you can map between the limits of the two ranges.

A special case of clamping a number is converting it to a **safe integer**. You can use the `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` and `Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER` constants to find the closest safe value. Additionally, use `Math.round()` to convert to an integer.
