# MD047 - Files should end with a single newline character
Tags: blank_lines
Aliases: single-trailing-newline
Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when there is not a single newline character at the end
of a file.
An example that triggers the rule:
```markdown
# Heading
This file ends without a newline.[EOF]
```
To fix the violation, add a newline character to the end of the file:
```markdown
# Heading
This file ends with a newline.
[EOF]
```
Rationale: Some programs have trouble with files that do not end with a newline.
