markdownlint-rule-indent-alignment

What?

This is a custom markdownlint rule to lint the alignment of list items and blocks (e.g. code blocks). For example:

| Invalid :no_entry: | Valid :white_check_mark: | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit. | Lorem ipsum dolor sit ametconsectetur adipiscing elit. | | * Lorem ipsum * Dolor sit amet | * Lorem ipsum * Dolor sit amet | | 1. Lorem ipsum * Dolor sit amet | 1. Lorem ipsum * Dolor sit amet | | * Lorem ipsum dolor sit ametconsectetur adipiscing elit | * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit | | 1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit | 1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit | | * Lorem: ```text hello world ``` | * Lorem: ```text hello world ``` | | > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet > consectetur adipiscing elit | > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet> consectetur adipiscing elit |

Usage

To use this custom markdownlint rule two things needed:

1. Update your markdownlint config to include "indent-alignment": true

2. Add this rule to the list of custom markdownlint rules. If using markdownlint-cli, this would look something like:

   markdownlint -r './node_modules/@silvermine/markdownlint-rule-indent-alignment/src/indent-alignment.js' -c .markdownlint.json README.md

Rule configuration

This rule has the following config options:

• ul_indent: Desired indention of ul lists (number, default undefined)
  • By default, child ul items will be aligned with the content. When ul_indent is set, the rule will replicate the behavior of the ul-indent (MD007) rule.
  • Examples:

    • ul_indent: undefined

      * top-level item
        * sub-item

    • ul_indent: 3

      * top-level item
         * sub-item
