MD006 - Consider starting bulleted lists at the beginning of the line
Tags: bullet, ul, indentation
Aliases: ul-start-left
This rule is triggered when top level lists don't start at the beginning of a line:
Some text
* List item
* List item
To fix, ensure that top level list items are not indented:
Some test
* List item
* List item
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).

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

MD022 - Headers should be surrounded by blank lines
Tags: headers, blank_lines
Aliases: blanks-around-headers
This rule is triggered when headers (any style) are either not preceded or not followed by a blank line:
# Header 1
Some text
Some more text
## Header 2
To fix this, ensure that all headers have a blank line both before and after (except where the header is at the beginning or end of the document):
# Header 1
Some text
Some more text
## Header 2
Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will not parse headers that don't have a blank line before, and will parse them as regular text.
Bare URL used Open

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`
Unordered list indentation Open

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.
