Markdown Lint

Markdown Lint adds writing diagnostics for markdown notes. It highlights common formatting issues directly in the editor and offers quick fixes where Lapis can make a safe change.

The goal is not to make every note look identical. The goal is to catch small formatting problems before they become distracting.

What It Checks

  • Heading order and spacing.
  • List indentation.
  • Extra blank lines.
  • Common table and code block formatting problems.
  • Markdown patterns that can render inconsistently across tools.

Editor Behavior

  • Diagnostics appear in the markdown editor while you write.
  • Safe quick fixes are offered for supported issues.
  • Rules can be disabled when they do not match your writing style.
  • The plugin works with the Lapis language-service diagnostics surface.
