Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/174

in my .markdownlint.yaml file (in repo root) I have several rules (see below) which all work but I wanted to modify no-trailing-punctuation to allow both "!" and "?"

no-duplicate-header: false
line-length: false
no-inline-html: false
no-space-in-links: false
no-trailing-punctuation: ".,;:"

But as many combinations as I try I can't get this configuration adjustment to take hold. Also of note, I am using the vs-code environment to surface these warnings and so therefore possibly this is actually an error with the markdownlint extension by David Anson. I will raise this issue there too as I'm really not sure how to distinguish between the two.

punctuation is a parameter to the rule, as seen here in JSON: github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint@2710c375b3/test/heading_trailing_punctuation_customized.json

You need to set it as a parameter in YAML as seen here for indent: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/test/config/config-grandparent.yaml

If that’s not clear, I can give a better example when I’m not on my phone.

Many thanks @DavidAnson, that is clear. So for others who may end up here, in YAML I would configure this rule as:

no-duplicate-header: false
line-length: false
no-inline-html: false
no-space-in-links: false
no-trailing-punctuation:
  punctuation: ".,;:"
