Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/319

Many rules in Rules.md explanation states the following:

Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling

it would be good to provide link of this tooling if there is a popular one.

@DavidAnson Thanks for the incredibly fast answer. The tooling under the "related" heading seems to have checkers, not fixers (unless I'm missing something or not fully understanding the given toolings). Can you please provide more info?

Thanks in advance.

~~I found this very helpful. I didn't know that VS code extension is able to fix these. I think it would be a better experience that you add this link to Rules.md file in this repo.~~

After trying what I said, it only fixes the current opened file. I need something to work for all files in a directory and sub-directories as well. It even tries to fixes some rules that I disabled.

markdownlint-cli and markdownlint-cli2 will both fix multiple files at once.

If you can demonstrate a scenario where the VS Code extension is fixing a rule that is disabled, please let me know because I would like to fix that. Disabled rules should not be reported in the first place, and therefore not be fixable. If you are seeing a rule reported, then it has not been disabled correctly.

A file with only the following content:

Test
-----

will be transformed into:

## Test

on saving.

My .markdownlint.json is:

{
"default": false
}

Here is the part related to markdownlint for settings.json:

  "markdownlint.config": {
    "default": false,
    "MD009": {
      "br_spaces": 0
    }
  }

That is not a change markdownlint will make. Please check to see if you are using the Prettier extension or something like that.
