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.

MD034 - Bare URL used
Tags: links, url
Aliases: no-bare-urls
This rule is triggered whenever a URL is given that isn't surrounded by angle brackets:
For more information, see http://www.example.com/.
To fix this, add angle brackets around the URL:
For more information, see <http:></http:>.
Rationale: Without angle brackets, the URL isn't converted into a link in many markdown parsers.
Note: if you do want a bare URL without it being converted into a link, enclose it in a code block, otherwise in some markdown parsers it will be converted:
`http://www.example.com`
