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.

To fix, structure your document so that there is a single h1 header that is the title for the document, and all later headers are h2 or lower level headers:

Rationale: A top level header is a h1 on the first line of the file, and serves as the title for the document. If this convention is in use, then there can not be more than one title for the document, and the entire document should be contained within this header.
Note: The level
parameter can be used to change the top level (ex: to h2) in

Rationale: Starting lists at the beginning of the line means that nested list items can all be indented by the same amount when an editor's indent function or the tab key is used to indent. Starting a list 1 space in means that the indent of the first nested list is less than the indent of the second level (3 characters if you use 4 space tabs, or 1 character if you use 2 space tabs).

Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will not parse fenced code blocks that don't have blank lines before and after them.
Multiple consecutive blank lines Open
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD012 - Multiple consecutive blank lines
Tags: whitespace, blank_lines
Aliases: no-multiple-blanks
This rule is triggered when there are multiple consecutive blank lines in the document:
Some text here
Some more text here
To fix this, delete the offending lines:
Some text here
Some more text here
Note: this rule will not be triggered if there are multiple consecutive blank lines inside code blocks.
Unordered list style Open
* `something.pass.sh`: Success scenario - script is expected to prepare machine
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD004 - Unordered list style
Tags: bullet, ul
Aliases: ul-style
Parameters: style ("consistent", "asterisk", "plus", "dash"; default "consistent")
This rule is triggered when the symbols used in the document for unordered list items do not match the configured unordered list style:
* Item 1
+ Item 2
- Item 3
To fix this issue, use the configured style for list items throughout the document:
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
Note: the configured list style can be a specific symbol to use (asterisk, plus, dash), or simply require that the usage be consistent within the document.
Multiple top level headers in the same document Open
# Known issues
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD025 - Multiple top level headers in the same document
Tags: headers
Aliases: single-h1
Parameters: level (number; default 1)
This rule is triggered when a top level header is in use (the first line of the file is a h1 header), and more than one h1 header is in use in the document:
# Top level header
# Another top level header
To fix, structure your document so that there is a single h1 header that is the title for the document, and all later headers are h2 or lower level headers:
# Title
## Header
## Another header
Rationale: A top level header is a h1 on the first line of the file, and serves as the title for the document. If this convention is in use, then there can not be more than one title for the document, and the entire document should be contained within this header.
Note: The level
parameter can be used to change the top level (ex: to h2) in
cases where an h1 is added externally.
Inconsistent indentation for list items at the same level Open
- `root`'s `.ssh/authorized_keys` is setup with correct permissions
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD005 - Inconsistent indentation for list items at the same level
Tags: bullet, ul, indentation
Aliases: list-indent
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
* Nested Item 1
* Nested Item 2
* Nested Item 3
Ordered list item prefix Open
5. run `automatus.py` with command:
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD029 - Ordered list item prefix
Tags: ol
Aliases: ol-prefix
Parameters: style ("one", "ordered"; default "one")
This rule is triggered on ordered lists that do not either start with '1.' or do not have a prefix that increases in numerical order (depending on the configured style, which defaults to 'one').
Example valid list if the style is configured as 'one':
1. Do this.
1. Do that.
1. Done.
Example valid list if the style is configured as 'ordered':
1. Do this.
2. Do that.
3. Done.
Lists should be surrounded by blank lines Open
- To use VM backend, use the following option on the command line:
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD032 - Lists should be surrounded by blank lines
Tags: bullet, ul, ol, blank_lines
Aliases: blanks-around-lists
This rule is triggered when lists (of any kind) are either not preceded or not followed by a blank line:
Some text
* Some
* List
1. Some
2. List
Some text
To fix this, ensure that all lists have a blank line both before and after (except where the block is at the beginning or end of the document):
Some text
* Some
* List
1. Some
2. List
Some text
Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will not parse lists that don't have blank lines before and after them.
Note: List items without hanging indents are a violation of this rule; list items with hanging indents are okay:
* This is
not okay
* This is
okay
Inconsistent indentation for list items at the same level Open
- `scp` requires more than a ssh server on the server-side
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD005 - Inconsistent indentation for list items at the same level
Tags: bullet, ul, indentation
Aliases: list-indent
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
* Nested Item 1

* Nested Item 3
Fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines Open
```
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
MD031 - Fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines
Tags: code, blank_lines
Aliases: blanks-around-fences
This rule is triggered when fenced code blocks are either not preceded or not followed by a blank line:
Some text
```
Code block
```
```
Another code block
```
Some more text
To fix this, ensure that all fenced code blocks have a blank line both before and after (except where the block is at the beginning or end of the document):
Some text
```
Code block

Another code block
