Dollar signs used before commands without showing output Open

MD014 - Dollar signs used before commands without showing output
Tags: code
Aliases: commands-show-output
This rule is triggered when there are code blocks showing shell commands to be typed, and the shell commands are preceded by dollar signs ($):
$ ls
$ cat foo
$ less bar
The dollar signs are unnecessary in the above situation, and should not be included:
ls
cat foo
less bar
However, an exception is made when there is a need to distinguish between typed commands and command output, as in the following example:
$ ls
foo bar
$ cat foo
Hello world
$ cat bar
baz
Rationale: it is easier to copy and paste and less noisy if the dollar signs are omitted when they are not needed. See http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#dollar-signs-in-shell-code for more information.

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:

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

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.

Trailing spaces Open

MD009 - Trailing spaces
Tags: whitespace
Aliases: no-trailing-spaces
Parameters: br_spaces (number; default: 0)
This rule is triggered on any lines that end with whitespace. To fix this, find the line that is triggered and remove any trailing spaces from the end.
The brspaces parameter allows an exception to this rule for a specific amount of trailing spaces used to insert an explicit line break/br element. For example, set brspaces to 2 to allow exactly 2 spaces at the end of a line.
Note: you have to set brspaces to 2 or higher for this exception to take effect - you can't insert a br element with just a single trailing space, so if you set brspaces to 1, the exception will be disabled, just as if it was set to the default of 0.
