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.

MD026 - Trailing punctuation in header
Tags: headers
Aliases: no-trailing-punctuation
Parameters: punctuation (string; default ".,;:!?")
This rule is triggered on any header that has a punctuation character as the last character in the line:
# This is a header.
To fix this, remove any trailing punctuation:
# This is a header
Note: The punctuation parameter can be used to specify what characters class
as punctuation at the end of the header. For example, you can set it to
'.,;:!'
to allow headers with question marks in them, such as might be used
in an FAQ.

MD001 - Header levels should only increment by one level at a time
Tags: headers
Aliases: header-increment
This rule is triggered when you skip header levels in a markdown document, for example:

When using multiple header levels, nested headers should increase by only one level at a time:
# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3

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.
