Install the awesome utility markdownlint:
sudo apt install markdownlint
Your system now should have a binary called mdl. Use it on a file:
mdl /path/to/some/markdown-file.md
The mdl tool will report any linting errors to the stdout. For example,
/path/to/some/markdown-file.md:34: MD013 Line length
/path/to/some/markdown-file.md:30: MD029 Ordered list item prefix
/path/to/some/markdown-file.md:32: MD029 Ordered list item prefix
If you want to turn off some linting rules, run:
mdl -r "~MD013,~MD029" /path/to/some/markdown-file.md
Now the mdl tool will lint the file, but not trigger warnings for the rules MD013 and MD029.
