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

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 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.

The first step in configuration is initializing the project, which will create the configuration file for FAST. This will be done via the `npm init @microsoft/fast-project ./my-project`. The `<initializer>` in this instance is `fast-project` which transforms if one were to use `npx` into `create-fast-project`, so the `npx` command becomes `npx @microsoft/create-fast-project`. `npm` will assume that `create-` is to be prepended to the unscoped name of the package.

The `@microsoft/fast-cli` package should be as lightweight as possible, it should also rely on the configuration file for details about how the project has been setup. In this way, if a user were to retro-fit an existing repository to use the CLI as part of their process this would be possible. An example of this is already having a production application, but needing configuration details to use SSR (Server Side Rendering).

**My document**
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
_Another section_
Consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod.
To fix this, use markdown headers instead of emphasized text to denote sections:
# My document
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
## Another section
Consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod.
Note: this rule looks for single line paragraphs that consist entirely of emphasized text. It won't fire on emphasis used within regular text, multi-line emphasized paragraphs, and paragraphs ending in punctuation. Similarly to rule MD026, you can configure what characters are recognized as punctuation.

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.

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
The configuration of the project will occur during the setup using `npm init @microsoft/fast-project ./my-project` see [`npm init` documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/commands/npm-init). This requires the user has npm >=6.0.0. Certain CLI commands can be used depending on the configuration, such as adding boilerplate components with `fast add --component`. The following configuration options will be determined during initialization.

MD036 - Emphasis used instead of a header
Tags: headers, emphasis
Parameters: punctuation (string; default ".,;:!?")
Aliases: no-emphasis-as-header
This check looks for instances where emphasized (i.e. bold or italic) text is used to separate sections, where a header should be used instead:
**My document**

To fix this, use markdown headers instead of emphasized text to denote sections:

Lists should be surrounded by blank lines Open

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
