MD038 - Spaces inside code span elements

Tags: code, whitespace

Aliases: no-space-in-code

Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered for code spans containing content with unnecessary space next to the beginning or ending backticks:

`some text `

` some text`

`   some text   `

To fix this, remove the extra space characters from the beginning and ending:

`some text`

Note: A single leading and trailing space is allowed by the specification and trimmed by the parser to support code spans that begin or end with a backtick:

`` `backticks` ``

`` backtick` ``

Note: When single-space padding is present in the input, it will be preserved (even if unnecessary):

` code `

Note: Code spans containing only spaces are allowed by the specification and are also preserved:

` `

`   `

Rationale: Violations of this rule are usually unintentional and can lead to improperly-rendered content.
