# `MD021` - Multiple spaces inside hashes on closed atx style heading Tags: `atx_closed`, `headers`, `headings`, `spaces` Aliases: `no-multiple-space-closed-atx` Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling This rule is triggered when more than one space is used to separate the heading text from the hash characters in a closed atx style heading: ```markdown # Heading 1 # ## Heading 2 ## ``` To fix this, separate the heading text from the hash character by a single space: ```markdown # Heading 1 # ## Heading 2 ## ``` Note: this rule will fire if either side of the heading contains multiple spaces. Rationale: Extra space has no purpose and does not affect the rendering of content.
