Headers should be surrounded by blank lines Open
## Current Behavior ( Optional for new feature )

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.
Multiple headers with the same content Open

MD024 - Multiple headers with the same content
Tags: headers
Aliases: no-duplicate-header
Parameters: allowdifferentnesting (boolean; default false)
This rule is triggered if there are multiple headers in the document that have the same text:
# Some text
## Some text
To fix this, ensure that the content of each header is different:
# Some text
## Some more text
Rationale: Some markdown parses generate anchors for headers based on the header name, and having headers with the same content can cause problems with this.
If the parameter allow_different_nesting
is set to true
, header duplication
under different nesting is allowed, like it usually happens in change logs:

## This isn't a H1 header
### Another header
The first header in the document should be a h1 header:
# Start with a H1 header
## Then use a H2 for subsections
