Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/473

MD038 - Spaces inside code span elements

Example code:

caught: ` text`

caught: `text `

missed: ` text `

valid: `text`

Should work similar to MD039 - Spaces inside link text

[ caught](https://github.com)

[caught ](https://github.com)

[ caught ](https://github.com)

[valid](https://github.com)

Reproduction:

Also, this worked in version 0.22.0 and stopped working in 0.23.0+.

Sorry about that! To be clear, I just released version 0.25.0 last night, but you are saying this broke two versions before that? Just coincidental timing, I guess?

Oops, the version numbers are actually from markdownlint-cli

https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli/compare/v0.22.0...v0.23.0

Which changed from ~0.19.0 to ~0.20.2 in it's deps.

I couldn't figure out how I would've missed this for so long. It turns out, it's deliberate!

Here's the commit that allows it: github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint@bdc0246b34

The second bullet point here explains why: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#code-spans

An unfortunate edge case.
