FAQPage Schema

How do I set up markdown linting with pre-commit checks in my repository?▼

To set up markdown linting with pre-commit, configure markdownlint-cli2 rules and wire the pre-commit framework into your repository workflow to enforce formatting standards before every commit.

What do the MD013, MD040, and MD060 markdownlint rules check for?▼

The MD013, MD040, and MD060 rules are common markdown formatting checks enforced by markdownlint to prevent line length issues, missing code block languages, and horizontal-rule violations across your files.

Can I use markdownlint-cli2 to enforce markdown formatting standards in existing projects?▼

Yes, markdownlint-cli2 can enforce markdown formatting standards in existing projects by checking all Markdown files against configured rules and preventing violations during local commits and CI runs.

How does a pre-commit hook prevent horizontal-rule violations in markdown files?▼

A pre-commit hook prevents horizontal-rule violations by running markdownlint checks before the commit is finalized, automatically blocking any markdown files that fail the formatting rules from being submitted.

What's the best way to automate markdown quality checks across a repository in CI?▼

The best way to automate markdown quality checks in CI is configuring markdownlint-cli2 with pre-commit, ensuring consistent formatting standards run automatically on all Markdown files during CI runs and local commits.
