# `MD019` - Multiple spaces after hash on atx style heading Tags: `atx`, `headers`, `headings`, `spaces` Aliases: `no-multiple-space-atx` Fixable: Some 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 an 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 ``` Rationale: Extra space has no purpose and does not affect the rendering of content.
