Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/306

Not sure if I have missed this in the manual, or in another issue, but it would be really nice if I could specify which issues to ignore specific rules on a global in Visual Studio Code's own settings.json file, so that I do not have to have a separate configuration file just for the extension.

Also, I want to add,for anyone who stumbles across this issue. It is already possible to ignore specific rules with settings.json.

Here is an example of how to disable the rules MD022 and MD032:

    "markdownlint.config": {
        "MD022": false,
        "MD032": false
    }

Am I crazy, or is it impossible to disable MD029 ?

MD029 deals with the ordering of lists. I have a situation where there is a code block between two list items. Normally that wouldn't produce the desired output, however I use 'sane lists' and it looks great https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/sane_lists/

item
item

code

item
item

MD029 flags items three and four as warnings and I've not been able to disable it in eslint. I've already disabled MD033 and MD041 (reasons) so I know the setup works, just not for MD029

EDIT:
I was able to get around this by wrapping items three and four with:

This works on a case-by-case basis -- it just doesn't work in globally in .eslintrc

MD029 is disable-able per example below.

But I'm not sure how you would do so from an ESLint-specific config file?

Thank you @marsfan. This is the only place I could find this method explained simply and clearly.

Just in case there are more people coming here to look for documentation about the VS Code extension, there is a description and an example of this in the README for that project: https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint#markdownlintconfig

Perhaps it's just my lack of familiarity with the ins and outs of VSCode, but I read the "Configure" section of the documentation several times and did not understand that there was a method for disabling rules globally. I see it now, but that section still reads to me as though it is merely explaining that some rules are disabled by default, not how or where to disable other rules.
