# Custom Rules
In addition to its built-in rules, `markdownlint` lets you enhance the linting experience by passing a list of custom rules using the [`options.customRules` property](../README.md#optionscustomrules).
Custom rules can do everything the built-in rules can and are defined inline or imported from another package ([keyword `markdownlint-rule` on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=keywords:markdownlint-rule)).

- `deleteCount` is an optional `Number` specifying the number of characters to delete (the value `-1` is used to delete the line).
- `insertText` is an optional `String` specifying the text to insert. `\n` is the platform-independent way to add
a line break; line breaks should be added at the beginning of a line instead of at the end).
The collection of helper functions shared by the built-in rules is available for use by custom rules in the [markdownlint-rule-helpers package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdownlint-rule-helpers).
