What does the lines actually mean?

Hi! I ran remark-cli and got the following output:

.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md
  2:1-7:4  warning  Headings should use atx         heading-style           remark-lint

I get the warning, but the 2:1-7:4... What does that mean?

Is it on line 2, 1 to 7, 4? Is it on column 1-7?

Thanks in advance!

Hi kalle! That depends a lot on your setup, the file you’re checking, and the versions of dependencies.

But, probably, because you have a setext heading, and the way you’ve configured remark-lint means that ATX headings are preferred.

See https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-lint-heading-style for more info

Yea the issue was that I used so called frontmatters, and fixed it by also using the https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-frontmatter package.

But I'm still no wiser to what the numbers 2:1-7:4 stood for.

Line 2, column 1; line 7, column 4
