This rule is triggered when there are multiple consecutive blank lines in the
|

|
|
|
document```markdown
|
|

|
|
Some text her
|
|
|
|
|
Some more text here``
|
|
|
|
|
To fix this, delete the offending lines:```markdown

|
|
|
Some text here
|
2025-11-16 17:06:25 +03:00
|
|
|
Some more text here``
|

|
|
|
Note: this rule will not be triggered if there are multiple consecutive blank
|
|
|
|
|
lines inside code blocks.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The `maximum` parameter can be used to configure the maximum number of
|
|
|
|
|
consecutive blank lines.
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale: Except in a code block, blank lines serve no purpose and do not
|
|
|
|
|
affect the rendering of content.
