| markdown | Markdown formatting rules for this project. Apply when writing or editing any .md or .mdx file, including documentation and website content. |
Markdown Content Rules
The following markdown content rules are enforced in the validators:
- Headings: Use appropriate heading levels (H2, H3, etc.) to structure your content. Do not use an H1 heading, as this will be generated based on the title.
- Lists: Use bullet points or numbered lists for lists. Ensure proper indentation and spacing.
- Code Blocks: Use fenced code blocks for code snippets. Specify the language for syntax highlighting.
- Links: Use proper markdown syntax for links. Ensure that links are valid and accessible.
- Images: Use proper markdown syntax for images. Include alt text for accessibility.
- Tables: Use markdown tables for tabular data. Ensure proper formatting and alignment.
- Line Length: Limit line length to 120 characters for readability.
- Whitespace: Use appropriate whitespace to separate sections and improve readability.
- Front Matter: Include YAML front matter at the beginning of the file with required metadata fields.
Formatting and Structure
Follow these guidelines for formatting and structuring your markdown content:
-
Headings: Use
##for H2 and###for H3. Ensure that headings are used in a hierarchical manner. Recommend restructuring if content includes H4, and more strongly recommend for H5. -
Lists: Use
-for bullet points and1.for numbered lists. Indent nested lists with two spaces. -
Code Blocks: Use fenced code blocks with a language for syntax highlighting:
fmt.Println("hello") -
Links:

[Docs][docs]and add at the end of the page:[docs]: https://example.com/docs

Whitespace: Use blank lines to separate sections and improve readability. Avoid excessive whitespace.
Post-Edit Verification
After editing any .md or .mdx file, run the following command and resolve all reported
errors before considering the task complete:
npx markdownlint-cli2 <edited-file>
This closes the feedback loop so violations are caught and fixed immediately rather than relying on an external CI run.
Validation Requirements
Ensure compliance with the following validation requirements:
- Content Rules: Ensure that the content follows the markdown content rules specified above.
- Formatting: Ensure that the content is properly formatted and structured according to the guidelines.
