Configuration

markdownlint-cli reuses the rules from markdownlint package.

Configuration is stored JSON or INI files in the same config format.

The example of configuration file:

{
  "default": true,
  "MD003": { "style": "atx_closed" },
  "MD007": { "indent": 4 },
  "no-hard-tabs": false,
  "whitespace": false
}

See test configuration file or style folder for more examples.

CLI argument --config is not mandatory. If it is not provided, markdownlint-cli looks for file .markdownlint.json in current folder, or for file .markdownlintrc in current or all upper folders. The algorithm is described in details on rc package page.
