MD003 - Header style
Tags: headers
Aliases: header-style
Parameters: style ("consistent", "atx", "atxclosed", "setext", "setextwith_atx"; default "consistent")
This rule is triggered when different header styles (atx, setext, and 'closed' atx) are used in the same document:
# ATX style H1
## Closed ATX style H2 ##
Setext style H1
===============
Be consistent with the style of header used in a document:
# ATX style H1
## ATX style H2
The setextwithatx doc style allows atx-style headers of level 3 or more in documents with setext style headers:
Setext style H1
===============
Setext style H2
---------------
### ATX style H3
Note: the configured header style can be a specific style to use (atx, atxclosed, setext, setextwith_atx), or simply require that the usage be consistent within the document.

MD012 - Multiple consecutive blank lines
Tags: whitespace, blank_lines
Aliases: no-multiple-blanks
This rule is triggered when there are multiple consecutive blank lines in the document:
Some text here
Some more text here
To fix this, delete the offending lines:
Some text here
Some more text here
Note: this rule will not be triggered if there are multiple consecutive blank lines inside code blocks.

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`

Emphasis used instead of a header Open

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**
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.
