# `MD032` - Lists should be surrounded by blank lines
Tags: `blank_lines`, `bullet`, `ol`, `ul`
Aliases: `blanks-around-lists`
Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when lists (of any kind) are either not preceded or not
followed by a blank line:
```markdown
Some text
* Some
* List
1. Some
2. List
Some text
```
To fix this, ensure that all lists have a blank line both before and after
(except where the block is at the beginning or end of the document):
```markdown
Some text
* Some
* List
1. Some
2. List
Some text
```
Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will
not parse lists that don't have blank lines before and after them.
