I have a little sample project I was trying to use

➜  Markdown_Pandoc_Reveal.JS tree .
.
├── dist
│   ├── slides.html
│   ├── slides_not_worky.html
│   └── slides_working.html
├── images
│   └── MechAssaultCover.png
├── Makefile
├── markdownlint.yaml
├── .markdownlint.json
├── reveal.js-3.9.2.tar.gz
├── reveal.js
│   └── <files...>
└── src
│   └── 00_introduction.md
│   └── title.yml

3 directories, 9 files

The .markdownlint.json file has the following contents:

{
    "default": true,
    "MD025": false
}

and my 00_introduction.md file has multiple # headers, which is what I want. However, markdownlint doesn't seem to be reading it. Am I doing this correctly?

I have this same .markdownlint.json in other folders and it seems to work there. Even a .yaml version of this file. I don't understand why it's not being loaded or applied to the project above.

What tool are you using? Probably the CLI or VS Code extension? If you're using the CLI, what command line are you using?

As you say, this same file works elsewhere, so what do you think is special about this situation? Do you have a pointer to a repository that demonstrates the problem?

I am using Vim with coc.nvim and the coc-markdownlint plugin. Form my tinkering around, it seems that unless my folder is a Git repository, my .markdownlint.json wasn't getting loaded or something. This may not be an issue with this application itself and may be more of an issue with the coc-markdownlint plugin.

Agreed. Please open an issue against that tool. The markdownlint library doesn’t handle this scenario. (It just exposes a helper function to load files it is specifically asked to.)
