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.

MD030 - Spaces after list markers
Tags: ol, ul, whitespace
Aliases: list-marker-space
Parameters: ulsingle, olsingle, ulmulti, olmulti (number, default 1)
This rule checks for the number of spaces between a list marker (e.g. '-
',
'*
', '+
' or '1.
') and the text of the list item.
The number of spaces checked for depends on the document style in use, but the default is 1 space after any list marker:
* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
1. Foo
1. Bar
1. Baz
1. Foo
* Bar
1. Baz
A document style may change the number of spaces after unordered list items and ordered list items independently, as well as based on whether the content of every item in the list consists of a single paragraph, or multiple paragraphs (including sub-lists and code blocks).
For example, the style guide at http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#spaces-after-marker specifies that 1 space after the list marker should be used if every item in the list fits within a single paragraph, but to use 2 or 3 spaces (for ordered and unordered lists respectively) if there are multiple paragraphs of content inside the list:
* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
vs.
* Foo
Second paragraph
* Bar
or
1. Foo
Second paragraph
1. Bar
To fix this, ensure the correct number of spaces are used after list marker for your selected document style.

MD007 - Unordered list indentation
Tags: bullet, ul, indentation
Aliases: ul-indent
Parameters: indent (number; default 2)
This rule is triggered when list items are not indented by the configured number of spaces (default: 2).
Example:
* List item
* Nested list item indented by 3 spaces
Corrected Example:
* List item
* Nested list item indented by 2 spaces
Rationale (2 space indent): indenting by 2 spaces allows the content of a nested list to be in line with the start of the content of the parent list when a single space is used after the list marker.
Rationale (4 space indent): Same indent as code blocks, simpler for editors to implement. See http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#indented-lists for more information.
In addition, this is a compatibility issue with multi-markdown parsers, which require a 4 space indents. See http://support.markedapp.com/discussions/problems/21-sub-lists-not-indenting for a description of the problem.

Tags: whitespace
Aliases: no-trailing-spaces
Parameters: br_spaces (number; default: 0)
This rule is triggered on any lines that end with whitespace. To fix this, find the line that is triggered and remove any trailing spaces from the end.
The brspaces parameter allows an exception to this rule for a specific amount of trailing spaces used to insert an explicit line break/br element. For example, set brspaces to 2 to allow exactly 2 spaces at the end of a line.
Note: you have to set brspaces to 2 or higher for this exception to take effect - you can't insert a br element with just a single trailing space, so if you set brspaces to 1, the exception will be disabled, just as if it was set to the default of 0.

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.

This rule is triggered when list items are parsed as being at the same level, but don't have the same indentation:
* Item 1
* Nested Item 1
* Nested Item 2
* A misaligned item
Usually this rule will be triggered because of a typo. Correct the indentation for the list to fix it:
* Item 1

MD009 - Trailing spaces
Tags: whitespace
Aliases: no-trailing-spaces
Parameters: br_spaces (number; default: 0)
This rule is triggered on any lines that end with whitespace. To fix this, find the line that is triggered and remove any trailing spaces from the end.
The brspaces parameter allows an exception to this rule for a specific amount of trailing spaces used to insert an explicit line break/br element. For example, set brspaces to 2 to allow exactly 2 spaces at the end of a line.
Note: you have to set brspaces to 2 or higher for this exception to take effect - you can't insert a br element with just a single trailing space, so if you set brspaces to 1, the exception will be disabled, just as if it was set to the default of 0.

MD030 - Spaces after list markers
Tags: ol, ul, whitespace
Aliases: list-marker-space
Parameters: ulsingle, olsingle, ulmulti, olmulti (number, default 1)
This rule checks for the number of spaces between a list marker (e.g. '-
',
'*
', '+
' or '1.
') and the text of the list item.
The number of spaces checked for depends on the document style in use, but the default is 1 space after any list marker:
* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
1. Foo
1. Bar
1. Baz
1. Foo
* Bar
1. Baz
A document style may change the number of spaces after unordered list items and ordered list items independently, as well as based on whether the content of every item in the list consists of a single paragraph, or multiple paragraphs (including sub-lists and code blocks).
For example, the style guide at http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#spaces-after-marker specifies that 1 space after the list marker should be used if every item in the list fits within a single paragraph, but to use 2 or 3 spaces (for ordered and unordered lists respectively) if there are multiple paragraphs of content inside the list:
* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
vs.
* Foo
Second paragraph
* Bar
or
1. Foo
Second paragraph
1. Bar
To fix this, ensure the correct number of spaces are used after list marker for your selected document style.
