By default Adviser tries to find automatically the configuration file in the current directory and search up the directory tree for the following:
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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.

MD014 - Dollar signs used before commands without showing output
Tags: code
Aliases: commands-show-output
This rule is triggered when there are code blocks showing shell commands to be typed, and the shell commands are preceded by dollar signs ($):
$ ls
$ cat foo
$ less bar
The dollar signs are unnecessary in the above situation, and should not be included:
ls
cat foo
less bar
However, an exception is made when there is a need to distinguish between typed commands and command output, as in the following example:
$ ls
foo bar
$ cat foo
Hello world
$ cat bar
baz
Rationale: it is easier to copy and paste and less noisy if the dollar signs are omitted when they are not needed. See http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#dollar-signs-in-shell-code for more information.

Let's just be more verbose. There are rules that have more information to provide but the summary terminal box is kind of small, in that case the rules can send extra information that will be shown only in verbose mode. Also you will see a summary of the rules that were executed at the bottom with the running status (failed, completed, skipped).

## Arguments
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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
