# Override default parameters for some built-in rules.

# Ignore line length in code blocks.
rule 'MD013', code_blocks: false

#===============================================================================
# Exclude the rules I disagree with.

# IMHO it's easier to read lists like:
# * outmost indent
#   - one indent
#   - second indent
# * Another major bullet
exclude_rule 'MD004' # Unordered list style

# I prefer two blank lines before each heading.
exclude_rule 'MD012' # Multiple consecutive blank lines

# Ignore line length check.
exclude_rule 'MD013' # Line length check

# I find it necessary to use '<br/>' to force line breaks.
exclude_rule 'MD033' # Inline HTML

# If a page is printed, it helps if the URL is viewable.
exclude_rule 'MD034' # Bare URL used

# I prefer to write some intro
exclude_rule 'MD041' # First line is a top level header

#===============================================================================
# Exclude rules for pragmatic reasons.

# Either disable this one or MD024 - Multiple headers with the same content.
exclude_rule 'MD036' # Emphasis used instead of a header
