Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/110

I use markdown for creating slides with reveal.js that has the concept of vertical and horizontal slides. In my markdown I use *** to switch between vertical ones and --- to switch between horizontal.

When configuring my .markdownlint.json I expected to be able to do something like "MD035": { "style": ["---", "***"] } to allow for both styles but that does not work and I am forced to disable the rule.

Because there are only three types of thematic breaks, all the proposed configuration would do is prevent the use of “___”. I’m not thinking the extra complexity in configuration is worth it for what seems like a pretty unusual scenario.
