fix-markdown-fences

Fix malformed Markdown code fences by running a Python script that detects opening fences with language identifiers, locates malformed closings, and inserts proper plain closing fences across entire directories or individual files.

Markdown code blocks render incorrectly when closing fences carry a language identifier or blocks remain unclosed. A fence repair tool detects these malformed closings and appends proper plain closing fences to ensure correct rendering.

Automate Markdown code fence repair in a CI pipeline using the CLI or programmatic Python interface. Run the fix script against your docs directory to repair closing fences and ensure code blocks render correctly in generated content.

This Markdown fence fixer works across an entire directory of files. It uses Python's pathlib to traverse directories, detecting malformed closing fences with language specifiers and inserting proper closings while preserving indentation and multiple code blocks.

Malformed closing fences in Markdown documents are caused by closing fences that incorrectly include a language specifier. A Python regex tool detects these malformed closings and inserts a proper plain closing fence to repair the code block structure.
