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

MD012 - Multiple consecutive blank lines
Tags: whitespace, blank_lines
Aliases: no-multiple-blanks

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.

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.
Line length Open
Our intent is to be descriptive at an agency level through policy and best practice and proscriptive at a program and team level, tuning the specifics agile implementations to the needs of the business and implementation teams.

The GSA is fully embracing Agile as a core methodology for not only developing new IT capabilities, but also how it operates and executes the development of policy, practice, and other elements of our business. These guides are focused on how we invest and build software and systems, primarily.
