Linter for markdown | with presets

Release

This repository contains source files of docker image (and github action) for markdown files linting. Additionally we provides setting (rules) for the most useful cases, like changelog file linting.

All docker images always can be found on this page.

Usage

This image contains markdownlint-cli (node-js) and:

Additional rules for changelog file linting (/lint/rules/changelog.js)
Configuration file for changelog file linting (it uses additional linting rules, /lint/config/changelog.yml)

Major image tag can be updated in any time, but all changes will be backwards compatible.

markdownlint-cli supports next options (more details can be found on project page):
